xii. insanity

 have you ever taken
  a walk in the midst of
a crowd and looked over
               your shoulder
more than you did towards
    your future?

    paranoia is not a pretty
   thing, and it's a shame
 that the colour suits
       so many people.

so i twitch and try
 to stand up and close
my fists but that just
   makes my palms bleed,
and i have no more space
  for crescent scars
             anyway.

if i shy away like a wild
   horse, it's just because
no one has tamed my mind
      yet, not even i
           myself.
