The eccentric

A few lines I penned down last week whilst indulging the dipsomaniac in me...

The eccentric in my mind,
Is what’s driving me around.
When I’m lost,
Madness is what gets me found.
On my nerves end,
My brain is getting slack,
I’m walking into a dark alley,
Where there’s no turning back.

Dementia curtails me from speaking,
To myself and me,
I’m in no bondage,
But nor am I free.
Vanity feels absurd,
Pleasure is pure pain,
I’m not a lunatic,
But I feel insane.

Comments:
I can totally identify with this, you know, the lunatic part.

I donno why I burt out laughing when I read the lunatic part. Liked the "to myself and to me" line.
 
crazy and beautiful.. touched a chord within me..
 
Crazy. But identifiable. :)
 
If this is your first attempt, then it is a damn good one !!
 
guess we all recognize that there is a lunatic somewhere inside of us..

@silverine well this is certainly not the first time that i've penned down something...well though it is the first time that i've managed to keep it with me. but boy oh boy i certainly am an amateur at this stuff..
 
Hmm, I've felt this way more than a few times!
 
I can feel it too!
 
in the words of the barenaked ladies...

"On behalf of humanity
I will fight for your sanity
How profound such profanity can be"

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company

Won't it be odd to be happy like we
Always thought we're supposed to feel
But never seem to be
 
Hey, that's pretty good.
