They

by Yours Truly - Gemini


Insane they said.
Insane and they took one step away.
Always laughed at the thought of it
And to think, they wouldn't cry.

Last I was.
To fall behind the world.
But above the ones behind me.
They would never catch up to me.

Tomorrow I will
Show them how quickly I can take control.
My reflexes are faster than their wits.
For the first time, I would be known.
For the first time, I would sit atop.
For the last time, I would be the laughing stock of my family.

Immature they guessed.
But I have done a lot of growing while they blinked.
While they waited for an absolution
I became their monster.
I became their disease.

No big deal
A waste of space they claimed.
But I once was the best thing, 
The only thing they ever wanted.

"Finally no more."
But who will be laughing?
Who will be suffering when I bring the pain?
When the "insane" one,
Will be the sanest one in their world?


Reason for writing:

    Tell me what you think.
