Lost In This Insanity
Lost in this insanity
That laughs at humanity
A silent killer of some sort
All are guilty in its court
It seeks a weak mind
To seem greatly unkind
It knows no negotiation
Laughs at our desperation
As we try to somehow replete
The cure that makes us complete
We stick to it like a subscription
Looked at like it has an encryption
The laughter suddenly reappears
Smiles replace many unwanted tears
Chemical substances somehow provide
A sense of self which will only hide
The emotions that eat at your skin
Another thought of the attempted win
Depression is laughing out of spite
It’s many forces constantly unite
As we hide in our dark places
Smiles take shape on our faces
A sweet victory has finally arrived
The dark days feel quite deprived
