Crazy Just Isn't Me

Literature Text

When I hear voices am I insane?
My sanity I just feign?
I have plenty of friends.
I follow some of the trends.
I make a nice amount of pay.
I try to do as you say.
I do everything just right,
But still I have this fight.
Psychotic's what I am.
My mind just seems damned.
You don't know what it means.
Crazy is all you have seen.
This is what I must share:
Remember that we're there.
Going through normal life.
You'll never know our strife.
We act just like the rest.
Showing only our best.
If you could see what I see.
Crazy just isn't me.

Tied Noose

Tied noose around my neck. I'm crying, scared as heck. Why is thinking an ease? Shouldn't acting be a breeze? Wanted to jump, but I call you. Everyone says "right thing to do." No matter what I can't die. Brain just won't let me try. So many thoughts I've had before, I can't even count anymore. I'm tired of playing this game. Recovery should be my aim.

My Soul to Keep

Heart beats fast, fingers tapping, nerves are stretching, so close to snapping. Try to calm down. Take a deep breath, feel so weak, so close to death. Nervously shaking, and the clock's ticking slow. When will it be over? When's my time to go? Can't wait, about to break. God, I'm here, my soul to take. Take it now. I'm really done, tired of fighting, don't want to run. I just want to rest, just want to sleep, take me forever, my soul to keep.

Scared

There's this terrible thing Dwelling inside of me It fills my thoughts With these dreadful ideas It says I'm no good That I'm a defective product It tells me that my friends won't accept me If I tell them who I really am What I really am It wants me to continue hiding Behind the mask I wear So I can live a normal life I don't know what to do I don't know how to get rid of it But I don't know if I want to part with it And quite frankly It scares me But my attachment to it Scares me even more

Psychotic Love

The tears of the sky.. They cleanse the red..... Born from a lie.... A light now dead Like swirls of insanity Dropping into masses... Denying reality..... As pain encompasses Your Light.... The sky dressed in grey Sings a song of forlorn What price must I pay? To mend what is torn... I who stole lives Gained life from you.... I who saw lies Lies, you made true..... My darkened soul In pieces, so broken You made it whole.... Is it heavens's token? Like the heavenly sun.... Silence these voices that torment me so Showing me things I dont wish to know Deep within the depths of my heart Is a desire that tears me apart..

Bound Here Forever

Bound here forever Never free Bound here forever Never to wander This prison my home This pillar my bed Chains chant Walls weep The darkness my lover Tenderly she wraps herself Around my tormented soul This prison my home This pillar my bed Bound here forever Never free

Literature

Wandering

What do I want? What is it I need? What is this unquenchable thirst? What is this ravenous hunger? How do I fill this void? this gap in my soul, my life? Is there some magic? a trick? a remedy for the pain of mind and heart? I've walked a long, barren road signs all blank, pointing forward. Some end without definition, a place which is nowhere Onward again on an endless stretch alone, tired, haggard and cold such a confused little wretch searching for a cure to the soul.

Moonlight Melody

Moonlight Melody Once again she emerges And no one knows she’s there Staying hidden in the shadows All are blind and unaware Her silver wings wrap around her As she follows a mournful song One of such beauty and saddens The melody leads her along Following the musical path Her heart begins to rush The song was getting softer Fading into the dust Moving swiftly forward Not caring to be seen For in her soul she knows The voice of the one who sings Finding the one she seeks With tears upon her cheeks Singing up at the moonlight The stars her symphony She wraps her wings around her And whispers in her ear “Dry your eyes I am

what the water told me

i wish someone would have told me, when i was fifteen, that there was reason for me on this earth that no matter what i did or did not accomplish, there was a fucking reason why i was here so that maybe i didn't grow up thinking the atoms composing my body could have gone to something better. i wish someone would have told me, when i was fifteen, not to listen to a negative word anyone would say about me that their tongues spit out lies like acid, searing into my skin until i was just a pile of bones so that maybe i wouldn't have such problems with myself today. i wish someone would have told me, when i was fifteen, that love was a beautif

Even fallen angels miss the clouds, she says.

When it rains, she keeps quiet. I’ve learned to look away from the whole of her on those days, keep my eyes up towards the skylight, watch the rain come for me but never reach, never touch. I don’t want to be cleansed. But when I search for her from beneath my lashes, she is outside on the grass, arms outstretched. Big storms are her favorite: thick droplets catch the hairs on her forearms, pour down like velveteen drapes. With the light like this, I see wings. I see remorse. Here she is, an offering. With the light like this, I know she spits apologies to the heavens. I know she remembers her mother’s slamming doo

but not my palms

somewhere along the lines my heart got so deprived that i fell in love with every bit of affection i could get my hands on you were lovely and i was lonely and you fell in love with my voice but not my mouth fell in love with my words, but not my palms. and no matter how hard i try i don't know how to turn my garden of a body into flowers.

an atheist's prayer

dear god, i planted no tulips in autumn and no tulips came in spring. how silly of me, then to mourn the empty garden, to long for fields of amsterdam, to kneel at night in cold dirt, hands folded. i’ve learned there is a certain ache in lacking a thing never had, that small itch whose relief is two seasons past – so god, if you can hear me, know that i am homesick for amsterdam, whose name, like yours, i know but whose flowers i cannot see.

For My People

As far as I can recall: I did not ask to be birthed Into a cycle of stagnation. I did not ask to be told, That my dreams are achievable; Only to see them limited by the scope of reality. I did not ask for a failing system, Passed unto me by half-dead corpses wearing suits. Nodding eagerly at one another, As they wait for an inevitable death. This I did not ask for, And I am certain that most of you did not either. But it is for that reason, And for that reason alone, I say: That it is up to us, We siblings bound by the chains of our forefathers, To create a system that is better, Than the bitter shackles of the past. Justice is what I lo

I've seen a lot of people using the word "psychotic" to describe strange or crazy. Psychosis is having delusions, having hallucinations, or hearing voices that aren't there. Just because you have this doesn't mean you're locked away in an insane asylum. Plenty of people have psychosis and live perfectly normal lives.
