Crazy Me

I feel like hurting myself, I’m sorry, Lord
Don’t know why I feel the urge crawl into me
With crooked, malicious, wicked discord
I need scars of soaring, eager sympathy 
To be my shadow beneath me
I love the wanting-wondrous-things-and-searching-for-help thing, honestly,
Is beautiful and amazing is what I see in everything and anything good genuinely 

You saw behind my crazy
Behind my crazy
Behind my lonely, crazy ol' mindset and daily-thumping heart
You saw behind my crazy
Behind my crazy
Behind my crazy manias that get me upset and so torn apart

It was inside me,
I remember the anxious and mad craziness
Was inside me
Somewhat making me move in utter dizziness 
I will survive to see
Your empathetic ember that scorches away hopelessness
Burn on,
Shine on

I appreciate
Never will I hate,
Though I expressed it harshly before
It still hurts me to the one and only inner core 
I need God's trait
Of lovely joyous state
I hesitate due to thoughts of my future fate – 
It scares me to ponder about it time and time again…
Where do I begin? Where am I supposed to begin?
What will happen? Must I wait?
What if I break under pressure? 
Would I be too late? Too late?
Why am I left always so unsure?
So, should I persevere all throughout
Instead of fear and constant doubt?

You saw behind my crazy
Behind my crazy
Behind my lonely, crazy ol' mindset and daily-thumping heart
You saw behind my crazy
Behind my crazy
Behind my crazy manias that get me upset and so torn apart

It was inside me,
I remember the anxious and mad craziness
Was inside me
Somewhat making me move in utter dizziness 
I will survive to see
Your empathetic ember that scorches away hopelessness
Burn on,
Shine on

Waiting for patience and for patience alone…I am alive and a survivor
While I feel unbearable, buffering suffering 
I am a deep-water diver, diving into my mixed drink, sweet screwdriver 
While I deal and fight with the battles tiredly 
Please pardon my inquiries about why I fall into the temptations of iniquities
They are bothersome and exaggeration pumps up their tires of ruined desires
 Suppose happiness comes and goes, all unknown 
I don’t like being in the crowd at this bar for so long
I don’t need and want to belong, whether it’s right or wrong
Dreaming aloud in my mind's cranium
Thinking I could be as quiet and calm as the breeze at ease, 
Yet loud with pitter-patter rainfall, 
Fatigued and sick of feelings of titanium numb 

You saw behind my crazy
Behind my crazy
Behind my lonely, crazy ol' mindset and daily-thumping heart
You saw behind my crazy
Behind my crazy
Behind my crazy manias that get me upset and so torn apart

It was inside me,
I remember the anxious and mad craziness
Was inside me
Somewhat making me move in utter dizziness 
I will survive to see
Your empathetic ember that scorches away hopelessness
Burn on,
Shine on

Wish I could write authentic brilliantly
Like those New York best-sellers 
Wish I can be glad and content frankly
I would be in mere satisfaction on another ascending level 
That won’t injure, but to be a cast-to-the-river cures
Mind has been skipping childishly on hopscotch design since 1997
Kind of you to compliment me and our cheery generosity is even 
Find me in the depths of delighted, illuminated serenity and its opportunity-tuned possibilities
Blind and lost, but will see and be found beyond the aches and wounds of sorrowful yesterday possibly…God, will You please? 
Crazy me got to be put at ease, put me at ease…
Put doubt out the drain, that sickly soiled disease…
It’s sadly vast
Until it is cast
Into oblivion's sea
Then, turned into ecstasy…

I’m crazy,
You see?
You accept me
Thankfully!

I am CRAZY about this one. A definite fav for me. I am so glad when a poet can pour his soul onto the page and grab the readers by the heartstrings, which is what you have done here, JW.

Ah, good to know! I am a crazy poet and I didn't know it xD! Thanks, yes, you depicted that so well. I do that and hoping I can do much more than that - to encourage others to write freely and express the inner thoughts creatively.

JW, awesome heartfelt lyrics. I really like the internal complexity you describe. You might be crazy but you weren’t afraid to go there. I like how you repeat the key word.. you start to get mesmerized by the “crazy” There’s nothing about your song that I dislike.. so put it to music!!

A soul yearns for reassurance, while baring itself with expressive heartfelt words. Blessed are those who admit to their needs and fears, yet clinging on to faith and hope of understanding. ~ Regards // paul
