Come In From The Cold

How do men come to Madness?
Do they just wake one day, to find
They lost the key to sanity,
And wander the maze of a mind?
Is it an overnight malady,
Or, is it in there, all along?
Is that passage a one-way door?
Is opening that door wrong?
Does the door slam shut behind us,
Or anything so dramatic?
Does it happen so suddenly?
Must the transition be so traumatic?
Aren't we all facing that hallway
In the morning, when we awaken?
Isn't the mirror in that passage
And everyone else mistaken?
I think you've got it all wrong
And I will tell you, secretly,
Just come in through the doorway
And keep me company.
