It's True I Am a Madman

It is true I am a Madman! -Pick a line from a book and write a poem based on that line, NaPoWrMo
 

It is true I am a Madman! 

TRUE! —nervous—very, very dreadfully 
nervous I had been and am but why will you 
say that I am mad? 

From the Tell-Tale Heart

Yes, I am a nervous wreck
Ever since that day
When I went for a run
Almost died when I fell
And had 14 operations
Battling a mutant staph infection
That almost killed me

And yes, I am still mad
In a way
Madly in love
With the love of my life
To that crime 
I gladly confess
