I’m seventeen and I’m crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always say seventeen and insane.


When I'm bored,
I'll lean over my bed,
and let my head
touch the floor.
I am searching.

I look at the wall,
the posters and pictures,
They are new shapes,
and new ideas.
I am perplexed.

I look at the ceiling,
but I feel like I'm on,
a ceiling made of,
carpet and footsteps.
I am confused.

I look at my chairs,
my dressers and drawers,
and wonder if,
They'll fall off of the floor.
I am wondering.

I feel it in my head,
The blood is rushing,
My eyes see red,
But something new is touching.
I am in pain.

I feel it in my heart,
There are ideas forming,
Something is connected,
This new world is amazing.
I am in love.

When I'm bored,
(But I'm not bored)
I'll lean up to my bed,
and let my head
touch the pillows.
I am at peace.

Sometimes inspiration comes to me when I'm upside down; now I'd like to write how it feels.
