Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind.

I’m a crooked man that’s true
        But I managed to always pull through.
                  It’s not easy being a crooked man, you see.
                             I have no one to be with or call family.
                                      I’m kind to women, always a gent.
                                               But no woman likes a guy that is bent.
                                                         I may be crooked from what you see at the start
                                                                 But I’m not the one with a crooked heart.
                                                                         It shouldn’t be all about appearance,
                                                                               But wisdom, strength, and perseverance.
                                                                                      People want to believe what they see
                                                                         But what they see isn’t the real me.
                                                                                                So I may be a crooked man, that’s true

But maybe the crooked man isn’t me, but you.
