Just because I'm crazy.
I won't bite you if you speak to me.
I don't take a ton of “meds” to keep me calm.
I DON'T YELL ALL THE TIME!!!!

Just because I'm crazy.
I don't hear voices that aren't really there... sometimes...
I don't see things that aren't really there... usually...
I don't want to burn things... kinda...

Just because I'm crazy.
I don't think I can fly, but I swear to God I did once, one time.
I don't stalk people... I just remember a lot of things about them.... and know where they live...
I don't listen to psycho music... just psycho singers who sing great songs...

Just because I'm crazy... Do not fear me. Love me... Or else.

The author's comments:
Just another poem the teacher assigned us to write for class. She told us to write about a judgment that people made about you, give the reasons why they would assume this, then show that it's really not true. I made this one funny, so laugh, and don't think I'm crazy, because I'm really not.
