Crazy Belief
Why do I have to be alone?
Why does here seem not to be?
Because I am not like you-
You feel the audacious need
To label me with the title of "crazy".
I am. Crazy.
Crazy for a love beyond divine.
Crazy for being lost at what I find.
Crazy for having long discussions with my mind.
Crazy for believing in real l-o-v-e.
I hold on to nothing right now.
Yet I embrace myself.
Genuinely caring more about everyone else.
Tried being selfish but it's too far from myself.
Am I crazy to keep believing in you?
I've sought what I have yet to find.
Standing in motion as the "world" falls behind.
Most are foggy glass and I prefer the clearest kind.
Am I crazy for believing in you?
To you I am far left field.
But you're not a bat.
You look away.
I look at your back.
You think I am the one that is behind you, but I watched you walk past.
Turned to see why you instinctively tell to kiss your um.
If I must be crazy
I'll take it
If I must be deep
I'll swim
If I must consider the hearts of everyone else
Then I will be alone until the light in you grows brighter than dim.
Am I crazy for believing in you?
