includes words: oatmeal cookie, koala, gingerbread man

Teetering on the brink of insanity

An oatmeal cookie
looks just a bit
like your face,
I think the world
is crashing in
around me.

These four walls
and padded cell
tell me
that others think
I've already reached
the end.

They say
I'm not a koala
but I know
I am.

I'll prove them wrong
eventually
and they'll
let me out of here.

The planets
circle around my head.
There are stars
in my eyes.

My heart pounds
a little faster
every time
the gingerbread man
passes me
a love note
from you.

They say
I'm crazy
but I'm not.
I'm just always
teetering
on the brink
of insanity.
