You keep telling me I'm crazy
and that's why I'm here.
But,
I tell you
that I'm here out of fear.
Fear of differences
Fear of oddities
Fear of ME.
I didn't kill anyone
and I'm not insane
I didn't hurt anyone
and no one's inside my brain..
I may be different
I may be special
but
that's me.
I don't deserve to be locked up
or imprisoned.
I don't deserve
to be strapped to a chair
and be electrocuted,
or cured.
I don't deserve
to be nearly drowned
or boiled.
I don't deserve
to be medicated
for something I don't have
or drugged.
I don't deserve
being made crazy
or insane
but yet
you're making me that way.
I was thrown in here
because:
I loved too much
I laughed too much
I danced too much
I drank too much
I ate too much
I didn't eat enough
I don't believe in religion too much
I liked sex too much
I read too much
I wrote too much
I LEARNED TOO MUCH.
I was thrown
into hell
because
I was always
too much.
Too much for:
My parents
My teachers
My friends
My family
Too much
even for me.
Who would've thought
that I'd be locked up
just because
I chose a life
that I wanted
but they despised.
So,
you decide
am I crazy?
am I insane?
Do the monsters
really live inside my brain?
or
am I different?
am I sane?
Do the monsters
really exist
but as people?
You decide.
