I am not crazy, I am not the end I am the beginning
I live inside, I wait, I cry, I rage against the world.
I am who you aren’t,
I live inside and scream at you.
You can’t hear me, you don’t see me, I am not a thing.
I am you.
Pills help you control the insanity I am.
I know you try to get rid of me,
you want me gone but I don’t leave.
I know you want it all gone, I want you gone.
This is the end until it begins.
The end of the beginning is the beginning of a new end.
You won't live again, you can't live again.
I am not who you think I am.
I am you, you are me.
No one knows the band you wear inside or the one you want to be.
I write this, you try and make sense of it.
It makes no sense, I make no sense.
I am not crazy but you are.
They don’t feel you I do.
I persuade the ideas you feel.
I make you feel the inside of the darkness.
The darkness is inside us.
We live inside it,
I am not you but I am.
It is the best and worst of times.
I don’t think I act.
I don’t rationalize you do.
The crackling of the pressure you feel is me.
We are one but we are two.
The end is near but the beginning is closer.


The author's comments:

I am a Journalist in Texas who lives. I am a person who fights continuing depression but I show in my poem what is the crazy but completely sane that no one sees. People dont seem to get that in todays 2017 and it is important that mental health not be left behind.
