The Price of Being Sane

Being sane, being in control I am..
slowly, surely;
learning the ways of the world
finally.

being sane, being in control I am..

no longer do I feel intense grief.....
no longer am I insanely elated....
no ups and downs....no mood swings...
all there is left is predictability!

But
where is the creativity - that weaved my
erratic thoughts into intrinsic patterns !
where is the emotional net - that flung itself
far and wide and brought me pearls of wisdom!

In the nights, when the guards are down,
my mind keeps searching...and searching.....

For the rabbit-hole to my alice in wonderland.....
And just when I find it and jump down...

The bottom opens out to reality and boredom!

Remove this burden, set me free..
I dont want to be sane.....
I just want to be me!
I dont want to be sane...
I want to be me!
