Crazy

Written by Zelda

 

Note: Meant to be song lyrics more than poetry. Something metallic and angry, probably in the style of Linkin Park or Hoobastank. Don’t steal it.

 

 

I huddle alone

In the darkness and silence

These visions and voices they won’t leave my head

And you can’t

Console me

I don’t have the space to hear what you have said

 

And I’m shattered

And shattering

Shaking

And shaken

And shivering

Shit just won’t leave me alone

 

And I’m crumbling

Crawling

And cracking

And crazing

And crazy-

I swear I’m not crazy

I swear it’s these visions and voices

Won’t leave me alone

And maybe

Just lucky just maybe

I’ll leave this behind with a mind I can still call my own

 

I’m tracking

And trawling

Trembling

And tracing

And trying

I’ve tried to stop feeling so cold

 

I’m breathing

Just breathing

And bracken

And breaking

And broken-

I swear I’m not broken

I swear that I’ll bray like a lamb

But sing in lion’s roar

And maybe

Just lucky just maybe

I’ll leave this behind with a soul that won’t fall through the floor

 

And I know

That you can’t reach me

I’m reaching

I’m retching

I’m reeling and

I know

That you can’t rescue me from all the nothing I’m feeling
