I abstain from the violence
To see my own pain
When I go outside to dance in the rain
When people see me
They think I’m insane
For letting the rain drip in my brain
Few know that knowledge doesn’t get soggy
So they call me crazy
But may be the world around me is lazy
Too lazy to see
The crazy beauty
Within me
