#27 of Poetry

A poem about the connotation of sanity and what reality truly is.

_Sanity_

A frame of mind   
What is truth?   
 Real or reality   
To oneself or to all

What are words   
 Scriptures of power   
Spoken control or written understanding?

What are emotions   
 Chemical elements within   
 Or unexplainable phenomena   
From within?

Sanity by definition   
 What is the norm   
 But what is normal?   
 If everyone is different   
What is all the same?

What is to oneself   
Into unto others?

Belief in what is known   
 Known to you   
 Or to others?   
But to all ...

Hold onto what you be   
 Self first   
 Others second   
 (But not exclusive)   
 However,   
Keep main idea   
Towards all

Deceit unto oneself   
Affects good of all.
