Insanity's Knighthood

Insanity's Knighthood

I cannot find, the strength of mind
To EVER ~ give up,
A mortal sin, they whispered
To take a look at what awaits me
Outside,
Why not surf the wave of insanity's
Disguise,
Why not speak of its nature in this manner?
Suicide
Has a distinct but most poetic sense,
A kind of, "Brave Knight"
Driven, by what's outside this reality
And the strength
Of mind, to obey what he considers
Bravely
Crossing the line
Into insanity's, "Fare thee well!"
And swimming gracefully
Into, self-realization's
Duality...

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

"A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man dies but once."  The pusillanimous that take the easy out abbreviate what God intended for them.  Be strong, dear Knight, shield yourself from The Valley of Death.  Let his rod and staff comfort you, for surely then, shall you celebrate every moment of your Lord's intention.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx

Dear LARRY!!......a brave man and true seeker once said "He who was born to walk the fine line and does not walk it for fear of insanity, is forever doomed to a life of torturous wonder!" ~ Jim Morrison

Depression &

Suicide is all too common as we all know Tony and it's very frightening so this poem is a red flag for me as my good friend struggles in his depression in a psych ward as we speak with all the pain & suffering of self harm indeed this is a difficult subject of which to write and you nailed it! 

Best wishes &

peace ✌️ Jai:)
