Tell Tale Madness


Crazy. It is a word us as humans use constantly to try and describe an abundance of things. An ex-lover, a test, a human mind perhaps.  In Edgar Allen Poe’s short story, A Tell-Tale heart the main character is carefully depicted as a “mad man”. On the outside of the story, he is this placid man slowly descending into his own personal hell of what is his mind.

Right before midterms we feel this sort of panic. The way our blood rushes through our veins with fear of failing all the way to how our heads ache with the slightest touch. We are the mad man in simplicity Edgar Allen Poe is trying to exhibit.

We all run in circles. It is completely inevitable. Much like the “mad man” we all have crazy thoughts. Maybe not about murder or anything underneath that realm, but in reality, it is only easy to slip in our own sort of madness.

One day we will find the thing that makes us go mad. It might be years from now or even tomorrow if the cards are dealt that way.

Once you do find your madness, hold on to it. It might be the only thing that keeps you sane.

The future is honestly so inevitable.

It pains me to write this because of how much cliché is admitted off of it.
