This Type of World

They have a name for it
and that makes me
feel better

a reason

to why insanity frequently
rallies around this
mind

the pills
go down
smooth
comfortably
one by one
reminding me that
chaos is always on the 
verge

just politely taps me on the shoulder.

Doctors
shake their heads
shake their souls
as if they understand
and you wonder

have they been here?

Have they ever ran
from the cackle of
HELL
so rapidly
only to realize
it is not behind you
or beside you
but within you

and when this becomes
overwhelming
I think of the others
then I go and take my pills
