Synesthesia is a medical conditon/disorder/symptom in which the sense basically get cross-wired; people can begin to 'see' sounds or 'hear' colors. If a person who suffers frequent and hgih class migranes, has done drugs like ecstacy, or even been in a very bad accident, said person can experiance this efect. Some People are born with this ability though, several famous painters were said to experiance Synesthesia.

Anyway, i just want to know what you all think of it, so I would love to hear feed back!

We, the insane, gather here today
to celebrate a new member into our folds!
And we're running, running far away
See me? Breathing? Never!
Synesthesia, Synesthesia
I'm seeing music, I'm hearing colors!
Beat me down and build me up.
Doctor, Doctor, don't you know?
You can't fix what ain't broke.
Am I insane in a sane world?
Or sane in an insane one?
Are you? How can you be so sure of your sanity?
See the music, see the music
Maintain a healthy level of insanity!
The color of your voice is oh-so beautiful
Synesthesia, Synesthesia
Warp me, Change me, Dance with me
Show me the world as it was meant to be
The rain falls with a pitter-patter and a scream
Lovly, lovly, my beautiful-ugly
See the Music! See the Sounds!
Colors! Colors! Synesthesia!
Doctor, Doctor don't you know?
We, the insane, gather here today...

EDIT: oops! i didn't mean to post this here! feel free to delete this post

"Are you? How can you be so sure of your sanity?"
I would change this up a bit:
Are you?
(list)So sure of your sanity,(/list)

I actually have Synesthesia, so it's kind of cool to read this. ^_^

I see music in colors and patterns, and numbers and letters are like people to me.

Very good job. ^_^

I've been hearing about Synthesia all week, and this poem is incredible.
It was really interesting, and I liked it.

I was wondering though, anyone with Synthesia, can you explain exactally what you perceive with numbers and letters? Because I was talking to one person, and he was telling me how numbers are like people, and like 5 and 6 are siblings or something and it was pretty cool.
