Insanity

by Maple Tree   Sep 24, 2012


She spews insanity,
fragmented words
scatter crossed
billboards,
rising high
in the sky.

Silence
tugs upon
this urge of
mine to cross
exam her chaos,
telling me to
be
still.

Fame shines for a short while,
words are remembered for a
lifetime.

I shall remain in the shadows,
watching her scatter
shallow tears across the
many miles of highways
she dances upon....

    I love this :) I like the ending it was so good and you knew how to fit it into the poem to give the climax needed.
    I wish I had more to say here.

    This is quite thought provoking Maple, I think this could maybe be read in different views even though I am sure you had a strong one in your mind.

    The message I took from it which jumped at me was the idea of society seeing one side of a person but then that person is not what appears on the outside, on the billboards and posters and not what meets the eye. Through fame this person is seen to be strong and have nothing wrong, but deep inside they are hurting and have a dark secret because they feel pressured into keeping this secret pain hidden.

    Lots of thoughts going on with this Maple... I loved it. also... you added dance to the end... this makes it a true Maple poem :) xx

    Totally unexpected.

    I had to read this twice to grasp the full meaning. And here you go, my humble interpretation.

    You are some kind of artist... a diva... but I'll go with an actress. And your pictures are all over the highways, pinned upon billboards. You are a great performer, and people like you. Yet, there is a secret dark side of you that no one knows. A side that is in deep agony and despair and pain. Depression, maybe.

    If that is correct, then BRAVO. Your 'Bravo' poem sabotaged my screen. And now this. You are writing masterpieces lately. Keep on this track. More, More!:)
