Unwild

I’m standing in the wilderness

Wishing to be mad

Longing for insanity

Wanting it so bad

And yet I cannot feel it

I’m cold to its beat

Stiff like an ice sculpture

Amidst the burning heat

I watch them dance around me

Watch them hoot and chant and scream

And wish that I could integrate

Into their frenzied dream

And yet I stand here, hollow

I can’t see the pixie dust

I’m invisible and indifferent

I’m slowly growing rust

Reach out please, and pull me

Into this barmy dream

I want to feel the madness

I so crave to hear my scream.
