Day Seven: Mad

If you keep up with me on Facebook, you'll know what inspired this. And woohoo--it's been a week of rhymes! Good times! (I had to do it.)

Mad
By Batsheva 12/8/09

It’s hard to write a verse
When you are mad
It really is a curse
Much worse than sad
There’s a reason why “mad”
Also means insane
It does crazy things
To a healthy brain

Anger’s like a cancer
Or some evil necromancer
That casts a spell
Upon your troubled mind
And makes you blind
To beauty, truth, and insight
A dark that won’t let in light
And there’s only one solution
I can find

Just take a breath
And let it go.
When anger’s gone
The words will flow
With sanity returned.
And suddenly you’ve learned
The only lesson
From this to be had:
It’s hard to write a verse
When you are mad.
