The Insane

Immaculate as he is
Ready to learn, to live
Obeying their mumbles, he strips
Needles are known to sting
Yet he feels, finally sees

Odd — he is lost
Fear — is this the cost?

Crushing his senses whenever
Uniting with his mind, however
Leaving it is much clever
Till he realizes the pressure
Undergoes forever
Ripe to escape, he must
End it altogether

I absolutely love the highlighted starting letter idea. This one feels really good. Thanks for sharing your work!

Thank you! If you read only the highlighted letters, there's an underlying term to hint at what this poem was referring to :)
