Genius and Insanity (Nietzsche)

It is often truly stated
That genius and insanity
Are closely related,
For brilliant minds
Have complications,
Are sensitive and delicate,
More responsive
To emotional sensations.

Out of the ordinary box
Works their mind
Which people may
Unbalanced find,
Such minds may break
When overwhelmed
By reverses or a mistake.
