It first appeared through strange actions,

Actions only the observant eyes saw.

It then made out through suspicious speech,

Speech only the keen ears heard.

It was then that I knew it had taken over my mind,

But if it had taken my mind, what did I really know?

It was then that I felt it had taken over my heart,

But if it had taken my heart, what did I really feel?

I questioned myself over and over,

And sure enough, due to my being unsure,

I lost myself; lost in insanity.

It was then that the insane had taken over my soul.

It was then that I became possessed; possessed by insanity.
