    An originial idea for a poem. i loved the message about the way society has made it seem that there is something wrong with some part of you. i don't think that it belongs in the funny section but it was intertaning eaither way.

    I wonder why all of a sudden you have turned to writing about mental illness. Hmm... wonder indeed. What is ironic is that lately it is just that very topic ripping through my life and society like wild fire and ripping so many people apart from their loved ones.

    I really like how you address that since three of you friends are fine then you must be the one with half a mind. That was actually ironic when viewed with societies lenses.

    Another well deserved write my dear. Job well done on a topic that is so often hard to address.

    Well the last time i commented your poems it's also about mental illness. I have no idea how is the illness relavant to you. But i think you have really portrayed the message really well. I agree with Sherry of how you said the said if 3 out of 4 of ur friends are sane leaving the last one with half mind. Well think you're still sane as your poem still makes sense to me. Keep up the good work

    Excellent Job
    5/5

    I enjoyed this, I found the idea to be both original and unique in concept and it made for a refreshing read.

    The flow was flawless throughout, and the whole time I was reading I was smiling throughout.

    "My three best friends are sane
    So I guess that makes it plain
    That I have came up short
    With an illness of some sort"

    ^^ Easily my favourite stanza of the piece, made me giggle.

    I find alot of "funny" poems to be exactly the oppisite, and I find them somewhat difficult to write, however you made it look effortless here and I think you did a great job with this piece.
