Crazy Town

Crazy Town

The insanity that’s you

It’s growing all the time

Growing deeper every day

Deeper in your mind

Like a bulimic with a fear of vomit

It’s growing bigger all the time

They say that ignorance is bliss

Until you lose your mind

If your head was buried deeper

Any deeper in the sand

The tide would wash you far away

Into a distant land

I’m not sure that you’d notice

Your minds already there

I would swim for days to rescue you

If I thought you’d even care

So now you’re there in crazy town

I bet they made you mayor

A soldier of insanity

You’ve got that 12-yard stare

You know the one you only get

When you’ve been to war

The scars in your mind are plain to see

You’ve defiantly been before

So if crazy town is the place for you

I’m glad you’ve found your home

A wonderland it will never be

But at least you’re not alone

The Hatter may have departed

He said you drove him mad

He’s gone for tea at six with Alice

You made him feel that sad

Quickly down the rabbit hole

To the place he calls his home

The Queen of hearts doesn’t seem so bad

Now he’s been with the two of you alone

He went to see the March Hare

To try and get some sense

He said a day with both of you

Had sent him round the bend

A split personality now reinstated

Your heart and mind have both vacated

Crazy down is conscience free

So lonely you will never be

Both your sides conjoined as one

So at least you won’t be on your own

I wish your-self and you the best

In crazy town there’s no regrets.

I really enjoyed this poem beautiful imagery and a fun use of words dragged out a little towards the end if I'm honest almost lost its flow. Still very good read well done!
