Take My Crazy


Can you take my crazy?

Can you understand the voices that can't help but put me down?

Shun me from my self, turn my smile to a frown

You call it disorder, I call it a hoarder

Keeping so much of what it doesn't need

Do you understand me?

 

Can you take my crazy?

My hazy, jumpy, busy-body personality?

The ceiling would fall in on everyone if I don't write a three three times

But, but what three do I write?

In Sans Serif, Times New Roman, bauhaus 93?

I heard a crack above me, a second, then three.

What is wrong with me? Not a thing.

 

Can you take my crazy?

All these questions, and no one is answering?

The noise keeps ringing in my head and it won't stop!

And can you hear me, can you feel me, am I thinking?

Am I insane, or are you, really?

 

Can you take my crazy?

HY-PHEN

I am a high school senior, and an aspiring singer, actor, and performer. I write poetry from my heart, and much of it is on the fly. When I really think, I impact. I want my material to make people think, give a solution, and bring critical issues in today's society and generation to the forefront and be dealt with in the times we live in. I believe we have a responsibility to give back to whatever community we identify within a constructive and progressive movement for better unity and productivity. I mainly write poetry about love, hope, suicide prevention, and different issues concerning the Millennial Generation. I'm here to be the change I wanna see in the world. **Disclaimer: Some of my poems do deal with homosexual feelings and relations. Although I do not identify as gay, I do not discriminate because you can't come from one side where stones are being thrown at it, and then come out of it just to join those throwing the stones. I write based on past experiences, inspiration, and truth. I completely respect anyone's opinion, as I would like you to. Thank you.**
