Crazy Beautiful

I'm crazy beautiful 
or plainly insane
I consider insanity 
to be a personal gain
perpetual bliss
or so the surface shows
hidden secrets
no one can know
inside i want to scream and shout
im a jigsaw puzzle 
with a million broken pieces to figure out
I'm an intricate web
you try and untangle
dont get to close
you may fall and strangle
my scratch is a cut
that sorefully deepens
a painfull wound 
in which my memories seep from
I'm a gift to the world 
one nobody can keep
I must be plainly insane 
my beauty is only skin deep

Hi Catrina I'm in grade 11 and I'm wanting to write an assignment about your poem. Could you please email me or give me your email so I can understand your poem fully :)

Beautiful yes, crazy no. I know this place-- I have been there myself. It takes a lot of introspection and courage to be able to express our deepest emotions. This is a powerful and well written depiction of how the 'crazy' people are often the most mentally mature and brave.
