Hello, Insanity
A poem with a bit of a Poe-like flair...enjoy! (Yes, I started some rhyming again...I was starting to miss it:) )

Hello, I’ve seen you before.
Please, come in...shut the door.
What brings you here this time?
Oh, here again with no reason or rhyme?
Tempting me again,
Dear old friend?
It’s been awhile since your last visit,
Yes, such a long time isn’t it?
Looks like it’s time to go,
Where I’ll end up, I don’t know.
Ready to act, ready run,
I hope this time will be fun.
Sharp is the knife,
A quick slash to end a life.
Shovel, canvas, rope,
For one tonight there is no hope.
Oh, the pills kept you away I see,
But with them gone I have more clarity.
I now know what I must do,
And all I have to thank is you.
Hello, Insanity...make yourself at home,
I’ll be awhile, hiding them in the loam.
A few more gone, blood stains my tools,
They say you’re bad, but they’re just fools.
