I Swear I'm Not Crazy
I swear to you I'm not crazy
Mental
Loony
Loopy
The words knife edged, slitting my wrists for me
Don't you dare put me in that straight jacket
Or force feed me those pills
I don't need them
They do nothing for me
Freedom, fresh air
I yearn for it
But I'm trapped between these four milk walls
Gazing out my window
Into normality
Where I belong
Disbelieving eyes peer down from white jackets
Black pen whip across unforgiving paper.
It's all lies!
Yes, I feel sad
Don't we all?
Maybe I see things that aren't really there
Or consider killing myself because nobody cares
Talk to myself because I hate being alone
And scream when people don't hear me moan
Perhaps I need help
With my pendulum temper
But that doesn't mean that my mind's on the bender
I don't need a visit upon your black seat
Or a long plastic tube just because I won't eat
I'm normal
Dandy
As right as rain
And I swear to you, Doctor
That I am sane.
