The Crazy


A non-rhyming poem influenced by "the crazy" minds I get a peek into from movies and TV shows (Dexter, The Joker, etc.). Enjoy! Leave commentsssss.

A round of applause for the men in white
The ones in blue were vanquished
They all disappeared last night
I know my apology is one life time too late
But let me attempt to explain
I needed equilibrium
The peace around me was out of place
I couldn’t quiet the swirling in my mind
Things felt like a food fight in my brain
But the truth behind my eyes
Spoke volumes when it finally escaped
A round of applause for the men in white
They’re coming soon to take me away
I hope we can still be friends
Shattered, fractured neutrons and glass
Blown out by overloaded synapses and C4
I had to destroy the world around me
To build myself back to normal
Plagued with thoughts so big and ominous
I was sure I’d explode like the capital’s foundation
I had to lay flatter than the suburban ruins
Just to calm the crazy seeping through
And animating my eye sockets
Three cheers for the gentlemen so pale
Paid to be brave despite
Entering the lair of a mad man
Twas not a personal matter
No vendetta or greed-fueled plight
Simply a vicarious insanity
To force the mental hurricane
Outside of myself
I found a lonely home
Amidst the cranial rioters
Pounding between my ears
A round of applause to the men in white
They’ll be knocking at my door
I won’t have to check the peep hole
I know that my repentance
Is one detonator too late
I needed equilibrium
The peace around me was out of place
I couldn’t quiet the swirling in my mind
I resonated with the rubble
I found meaning in the ashes
Normality in the flames
A round of applause for the men in white
Their syringes clutched in hand
But I’ll be long gone by then
Angsty restless rage
Burned hot inside my veins
Much like the flooded sewer lines
Some would suggest chemical imbalance
Crazed religious fulfillment
Sick monetary motivation
Or vengeance for past wrongs
But this is all my perception
So who’s to say you aren’t the insane one?
Hats off for the scary dreams I experience
They predict the future too well
If the crazy within me prevails
