Insane

Everyone wanted to be a better being

Like them, I too plunged into the world

In the beginning, all went like a play

I acted as good as far as I could

Guys were happy to see my actions

They all laughed along when I laughed

And took care of me in each possible way

I wandered in the world more and more

And saw guys discarding self one by one

They had replaced their minds and hearts

And their eyes, ears and their legs too

They were happy to use the vague minds

And moved with a set of twisted legs

They loved one another with curious hearts

And they used to scoff at all natural ways

Their appetite now knew no more bounds

I too wavered and toed their path onward

And also began acting as they used to do

This continued for days, months, and years

But one day I suffocated and revolted hard

I dismantled the fakeness imposed on me

Now I was again my old self and free

With a strange look, all surrounded me

And wondered why I walked different

Why I looked around with razor eyes

And why I acted the way unlike them

How I laughed when all looked grim

And how the hell I made love at all

With such an intense heart of mine

I felt like an alien descended on earth

While I celebrated my freedom regain

With all happines, gusto, and love

The guys in the world mocked at me

And wondered why I turned insane

The more they stared, the more I laughed
