Crazy for a day

Who is to say who the insane people really are:)

                       crazy for a day
Weary,weary I am so weary,
Thinking these thoughts ,
Running maniacally in my head,
Wondering,wondering,
Searching for drama where there is none,
So they say ,they must be mad.

 

I should sit still but I am too busy,
Doing everything,doing nothing,
I am sorry you have to make an appointment,
To hold a conversation,
Because the voices in my head,
Reserved me for the day.

 

Where is that cackling laughter  coming from?
Good god was that really me,
Shush I think one of the voices got loose,
Quick I have to shove them back in my head
Can they really all fit ?
My head must be huge!!!

 

How dare you say I'm paranoid!!
Who said that?
Seriously I am not insane,
Is this strait jacket really necessary?
If I am mad why do they call you a quack?
Stumped you there didn't I ?

 

Surely you are not a  duck ? doc!!!
Hahaha  I kill me,
No ,no I am not serious it was a joke,
Seriously you ducks need to get a sense of humor,
I refuse to take these pills,
It is unanimous my friends and I agree.

If you lend me your coat,
I could be the doctor today,
I'll even let you wear my custom made jacket,
Who is to say who's crazy?
You who just sits and nods and tells me I'm ill
Surely you jest.

 

I can do that,
I've practiced my nodding.
But these damn pills make me drool,
So what I'll wear a bib,
Just see ,our difference is really our jackets,
So you wear mine today .

Hahaha this is just a funny one that probably makes no sense:)

The title pulled me into this one lol I felt that this poem was laced with humor throughout, which I really appreciated, but the last line sounded haunting. Saying you wear my jacket today, idk maybe I'm just crazy XD but great poem, it was fun to read!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Funny you .Thank you :)

[Rod Dangers]

Love it! Love the humour but also there is a depth and message there....who is to say who is crazy. The if the majority became insane, would the sane become abnormal?
Awesome rhythm too.
Thanks for sharing

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Rod your words are most true:)

[Frieda P]

Ha makes perfect sense to me, does that make me batshyte crazy? Good one Vidya, muchly enjoyed...and now I don't feel so all alone. ;-)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Freida you may share my padded room anytime you wish.We can be batshyte crazy together for a spell.Have a happy new year:)

[Frieda P]

Sounds like a plan, two nutz are better than one...you too, have a great New Year. ;-)

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

This piece allows the reader to smile and laugh without knowing why, well done, good read.

[Vidya Bacchus]

I am truly honoured by your kind words .Thank you :)

[Lyn Anderson]

It actually is quite a clever tense, tightly wound piece. Ahem, several spots with errant spaces and one didn't that is did'nt, but you left that just for me, didn't you? You are so sweet to think of me.

[Vidya Bacchus]

You crack me up KL.Okay let's say I did leave those errors so you could get your fix,can't leave you too long without something to correct you would go stark raving mad.Thank you and I am off to fix again, lord poor me :)

[Lyn Anderson]

I would, I really would. And when I get caught on my own, I have to fix it, immediately! My OCD compels me to do so. I will either make people pissed off, careful, or try to leave things for me to catch - either way, I can't stop.:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Everone loves you I think they actually leave things for you to correct so you can get your high .Correct me whenever, I also don't like to see mistakes but not to your degree as yet :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Sorry about the "Y" in everyone that was an actual mistake :)

[Lyn Anderson]

lol and I was so tempted. Ha ha. I hope people love me, and aren't secretly plotting to overthrow me as head of the apostrophe police.:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well if I hear anything I shall pass it on :)

[Anand Sehgal]

Where is that cackling laughter coming from?
Good god was that really me,
Shush I think one of the voices got loose,
Quick I have to shove them back in my head
Can they really all fit ?
My head must be huge!!!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Anand hugs to you too if you don't mind this strait jacket:)

[PoetryPenPal]

It's funny but still makes perfect sence. I could imagine a asylum patient acually saying that. I enjoyed this poem.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Oh thank you so much again:)

[PoetryPenPal]

Your welcome. You deserved every word.

Powerful look inside the mind of someone on perhaps one too many prescribed medications for mental illness. Numbing the senses....is that really a good thing? Indeed, who's to say what is sane and what is crazy? Does the white coat mean the person wearing it is totally adjusted and sane? Is that person normal? What is normal anyway? As you can see, your poem made me think! Lydi**

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well then it has served its purpose me thinks.Thank you Lydi for reading and reviewing your words always encourage me.Merry Christmas sweet friend:)

[00000000000000000000000..]

Makes good sense lol I gather it well lol Some Docs can be Ducks walking in there money making way. I am glad I have a very good doctor but I had a few quacks lol:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Lol funny my friend.Thank you for all your kind words:)

[0000000000000000000000000000]

Lol your welcome:)

[Samuel Jack]

Great fun with a serious undertone. My girlfriend works in mental health so she really enjoyed this piece.

I'd give you a technical review as well but it looks like "le parisien" knows way more than me on the subject!

Well written and well read.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Glad to know I crossed my t's and dotted my i's lol.Thank you very much for your lovely words :)
