Crazy

The shadows of silence
Casting images upon
My ears
Reflection of self doubt
Mixing with
Hopelessness and fear

The dread of not
Knowing
Apparent in my face
An open book
Of Sorrow and pain
A life lived in
Disgrace

Despair my friend
My lover
As the darkness is
Closing in
A life lived in the
Fast lane
A sinner without
True sin

A smile upon a face
Of pain
A heart that's broken
Drowned in the rain
As ships pass in an
Ocean like
Lovers in the night

When will the wind
Set me free
From this life
Being tethered to
The earth
Rocks hold me in place
As chains
Pull at my skin
Ripping
And Tearing

I listen to the Numbness
Of the sky's quiet pain
The birds
In flight
The wind
Of change
Never shall
I be alone
Because the voices
Inside
Comfort
Me

And they look at me
With inquisitive
Faces
I'm not crazy
I am just
Me
