Sunshine and Daisies

I recently heard something that caught my attention
Whether it's true or not, it was worth the mention

   Now I can't quote it word for word
But this is my story and what I heard

   To be a writer, you must be mad
Grew up with no dad 
Unexplainably sad
Your life, a mess, just downright bad
This would explain the success you've had 

   I won't protest
It would be hypocritical 
I must confess
I'm compulsively cynical 

   My head isn't filled with sunshine and daisies
I might just be, one of the crazies
