Insane


Sometimes I think I’m insane,

But I look at the people around me,

And I feel stupid to complain.

I have it pretty easy.

 

I can sleep,

I can eat,

I can keep

To the beat.

 

My brain overthinks everything,

I think, think, think,

I begin to think,

Why am I thinking?

This isn’t worth a thought!

But then I think,

 

I can sleep,

I can eat,

I can keep

To the beat.

 

I can deal with the think.
