But - one thing I did learn in my mental nursing days - WE ARE ALL MAD! Every single one of us is MAD in one way or another. Some more upset or affected than others. BUT THERE ARE NO 'sane' PEOPLE.... There is no 'SANE'.
So why on earth 'we' decide that 'they' are all these names. Good lord. I'm as batty as all get out and in lots of ways that I have to control. BUT so do we all. Be assured you are NEVER alone in this world. Because we are all in the same shoe, boat, world, planet... situation. Some are sad, some talk to the wall, some talk to YOU as if you are mad. (Polititicians mostly!) but we all share the same faults, we are all gaga!
This is so very, very, very sad a poem... because it was what I asked me all those 70 years ago. and 60 years ago and 50 years ago. and I am still vaguely engaging with the idea at times even now!
I am SOOOOO sorry... please don't hurt yourself any more. Believe me, it is our OWN minds that torture us, not theirs... that cliched phrase.... sticks and stones etc. etc. I can believe now that once I was as nice as I am now (I HOPE!) but I didn't believe it - it had been 'worded' out of me.
You ARE BEAUTIFUL.... INSIDE AND OUT!!!! and it is a gloriously beautiful poem in such a scintillating way.
