Crazy Came Knocking

One day crazy came knocking on my door
Without hesitation and not knowing for sure

I let crazy in as if she was one of my own.
Unaware of the chaos she would bring to my home.

Now I’m not saying crazy hasn’t been here before
But only to visit nothing less and nothing more 

This time she came with the intent on moving in.
Bringing all of her baggage even from way back when

I thought I could handle crazy I’ve always enjoyed her visits
But even the sanest person would be pushed to their limits.

She has become part of my life I can’t seem to shake.
I don’t know what to do or what it’s going to take.

I guess if I can’t make her leave and she is here to stay
I will make the best of it and let crazy have her way.
