don't tell me i should stay sane in this crazy world for how could my sanity hold? there are warning bells blaring in the streets cruelty is a playlist left on repeat my mind is a flare my body a boat and even in neutral waters i struggle to cope even in neutral waters the wailing ship of my hope struggles to stay afloat i see tsunamis in the distance bringing waves of death to peaceful resistance don't tell me to stay sane in this crazy world to deep breathe to counts of four to turn off my phone and lock my door how can i turn my eyes from the things that i see just because they aren't happening directly to me i want to burrow deeper into myself but the cracks in my resilience will show so i stay brave for everyone i know and scream into pillows when i get home so don't tell me to stay sane in this crazy world i do not know how but i shall use this opiod of ink as a raft somehow
