my crazy psyche.

There's a craziness inside me,
I'm afraid to let out.
It provokes & disturbs me,
Sometimes I need to scream, out loud.
It's not a danger to anyone,
It's just a voice, I hear.
A voice without reason,
That I cannot share.
Sometimes the voice tells me,
What I chose, not to hear.
I drown these thoughts &
Keep busy. Misplace & erase,
The fear...
Some call it crazy, without a
Reasonable doubt.
I prefer to call it normal, only turned
Inside out...
Maybe I'm confessing, that I am "crazy",
In a unusual way.
Because I'm not ashamed, it helps me
Cope each day...
Sometimes it warns me of danger,
That I need to stay away.
Other times it comforts me.
When it tells me, what to say...
Now I welcome & embrace these
Feelings, and everything I see.
Knowing it can be distorted,
By my own reality...
I can't get rid of it,
A constant presence,
In my mind.
No longer do I shun it,
My crazy psyche,
Is just fine!!!

A poem with healing and honesty. In a
world gone mad it's healthy to admit that
this whole life experience can make us a
bit crazy.

To share, to cope with hidden screams within
hidden by a façade of our own making and learning to live with one’s self, enlightened and venturing forth in daily life renewed!

Cherry, you have great depth, well done!
It brings to mind our own personal screams within!

The voice inside is the spirit and soul that separates us from eachother. I prefer to call it spirited if it's strong not crazy lol banana
cherryreggae
Lol beachnit that's true but sometimes its how we interpret & internalize, what may sometimes sound negative but in actuality is totally the opposite. Thanks 4 your comment appreciate it:)handshake thumbs up angel

sometimes Chaos brings balance to the soul.... in the eye of the hurricane, there lies peace & serenity, but one can only get there through chaos...

Inside out...'

'I can't get rid of it,
A constant presence,
In my mind.
No longer do I shun it,'..
