Madness string 30

There is a madman in my head. He insists there is a madman in his head. I make a point to ignore him.

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
