i\’ve given much thought
to the concept of mental status
with exposure to normal individuals
who seemed mad — and mad individuals
that seemed normal
the desire to compare
is one that should genuinely
never have seen the illumination
think about it for a moment
here you are — in attempt
to be the best possible you
while fear of inadequacy
starts to manifest a lacerated
visage steeped only in darkness
makes its presence known
an evil guardian twisted
who wants nothing
other than to amplify weakness
how will you decide to proceed?
be the you you were meant to be
and proceed in a fashion
of comprehension
and awareness
for me — i know there are individuals
who surpass my talent and am equally
mindful that i am proficient
with the gifts i house
so you see?
some above
some below
with me comfortable
in the middle
just being
moi
