The Hard Part



The reason is easy to see
When you have been unreasonably
Being myself a mad old man
If it takes one to know one I do

Seeing one being one who can
See through what we have been going through
Knowing that what it is behind
This madness we go through every day
Is madness itself now I know

Seeing someone going where I went
A thousand days of this has meant
Someone else has gone out of his mind
Having done so is how I know

Someone else had to learn the hard way
The limits of reality
Getting real for him and me today
And everyone on earth somehow
The hard part is getting through this now

I like your personal take within the poem, Steven. We all must travel different roads, but really those roads seem very much the same.

Reality is a bitch. Sometimes madness is an escape route.
