Crazy

Don't you tell me not to feel these feelings

Or how to live my life

Don't tell me I am crazy for living it how I want

Who is to say what is sane

 

Are you sane?

Running from man to man because you can't be alone...

Why is that more sane than not wanting one at all?

Why do you get to chase what you want,

But I can't keep what I've got?

 

Are you sane?

Living in a crap home....

Why is that any more sane than not living in a home at all?

Why can you live in your form of comfort,

But I can't live in mine?

 

I don't want convential things

So you tell me I am not right

Well I ask you what is right?

 

Is it right to drive a nice car?

Why is that any more right than wanting to walk?

Why do you get to Zoom Zoom

But I can't take a leisurly stroll?

 

Don't tell me I am homeless

Or that I have fleas

Don't avert your eyes when you walk past

I am not homeless

The world is my home

And I like it

 

I see you every day

With your uppity stares

In your uppity cars

Living your uppity lives

You think your better than me

But you don't know 

I am really better than you

You think you have it all

But you don't

I have it all

 

I have the wind that whistles

While your wind screams

I have the river

You get your lakes of cement

I have tree's and freedom

You're boxed into your little world

 

You'll never escape

You're trapped by fear

The fear of being different

Looked upon weird

The fear of being thought crazy

Like you think I am crazy

But I am not crazy

I just don't care...

Frances....this is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! No...It's FRANTASTIC!!!! I love this one the most of all of your pieces. And I amm so glad it was a freestyle, that makes it more the better. Everyone in this world id guilty of looking down on someone no matter where they stand and no matter whether they'd like to admit it or not. I can't believe how this poem made me feel. I admit I have looked down on others plenty, and judged plenty, and it's like...well who the f**k am I right? The entire time I was reading this I just felt a weight pushing down on my chest...it was so crazy. This is the first time in a long time I have actually...physically felt something from reading a work. I can always relate to people pieces and feel for them and even feel feelings it may evoke..but this one was HEAVY it hurt. Beautiful write, my love, beautiful write.

MY FAAAAVORITE STANZA

I see you every day

With your uppity stares

In your uppity cars

Living your uppity lives

You think your better than me

But you don't know

I am really better than you

You think you have it all

But you don't

I have it all

After reading this part I just felt so completely small and wounded and alone. This seriously made me feel like someone who had been put to shame so badly they regressed back to being a scared and lonely twelve year old. I could go on all day but I won.t Awwesome write.

an excellent write! Thanks for sharing it . . .

Wow this is just AWESOME! really really fantastic!

[Ronda]

That was awesome! Really. I connected with this, because I, like you evidently, think rather unconventional sometimes about things like this. It is true that people have beomce something unnatural and this poem speaks largly about that. The matieralism, the constant want that the Buddha warned against, and yet with our misreable little lives, we have the gull to judge someone whom is living totally free. The reality of course is that this guy is rare, and most suffer from some sort of mental disorder, but whos to say the rest of us aren't as well?

[Jacqueline]

Yes, it worked! Your rant was focused; you DO have a right to feel the way you do, live your life as you see fit and pursue happiness. Nevermind those who dare look at you funny or judge. This was inspirational :)

Excellent write, I loved this. Powerful.

Going in my favorites.

[Nicole Renee]

This shows a point of view that makes us think a little bit. Great job on the freestyle.

Yes it did work...very well.

I enjoyed the theme of the entire poem. Judgement! ....dunno if u realised this urself and/or u did this on purpose....but here the narrator is telling the others not to judge but in turn also judges the others in his own way.....but what kills the judgement is the last line 'i just dont care'....so me really really liked!!

I cant stand ppl judging ppl and i respect all ppl and i am aware of being judged constanly or ppl judging others constantly and it really does annoy me...so i loved reading this!

Thank you.

x,
O!
