Love Poem: Sanity

Sanity

Can I please have my sanity back
I know now what it is I lack
The fortitude to stand up straight
The courage needed to tempt my fate
The disaster of my wandering mind
When torment is all my thoughts can find
Regret is the emotion that now flows
Even though a smile is all that shows
No more tears shall ever leave my eyes
Not when all they see are lies
How can I love when I cannot trust
How can I be happy when I only lust
Forget it all, this pain inside
Remembering the one time that I cried
Bring to the front my deepest fear
Always thinking the choice was clear
Never understanding the inner me
Never knowing how I should be
Seems I've forgotten what I've become
I've lost sight of where I'm from
This is the existence that I chose
The pages of my life will soon close
Nothing seems to matter now
Forever regretting this somehow
I don't know why I feel this way
This is not how I desire to end the day
My whole life has been chaotic
I am certain I've become neurotic
For all that I am, I am damned
For all that I have, I've been scammed
I need someone to help free me of this feeling
After all, it is my heart that you've been stealing
