I Write, therefore, I am Insane

by Priyanka Bhowmick

I write

therefore

I am insane-

not in the sense that I am nuts

or I get mad around and trouble people

but I stay lost-

lost in my words and meditations-

I converse around with an empty sheet of paper

and mock it with my pen

so that it can verbalize

and dribble out its pain

or may be happiness.

I write

to nourish my soul

with my ever-growing

and never ending insanity

Normal people speak

and gossip all day long

to gratify themselves

but I do not

so what?

I write

therefore

I am insane.

Well no, Priyanaka. Your mind has needs and writing is the way it receives intellectual and emotional highs. You must continue to write, the beauty of poetry has stimulated and continues to do so around the world.
