The MadmaN И The Mirror

There’s this funny little quirk

To my writing, my poetry

That’s a bit dissociative, ’cause

I write about a lot of strange experiences

& though they’re inspired by my own

I rarely describe an actual experience

Moreso a summation of my experiences

Captured in a story that replicates the feeling

Yet let’s me hide behind the character I’ve created

Of a Madman mumbling nonsense – since

Even though I mumble just as crazy things

It’s a lot easier to write from the perspective

Of someone just like me – but I don’t have to

Admit what I really believe & face the fear

My mirror inspires nor have to take it personally
