Mad Girl

A Poem by ElephantRoom

Mind wide open in the night,
Hardly alive in the day.
This is not ideal for my life.
Changed some of my ways but most habits stay.

But I haven't really changed my ways.
I thought to change my ways.
I've wanted to change my ways.
I haven't changed them.

I walk a thin line, I walk a real thin line.
I crossed a thin line, I broke a real thin line.
But I promise imma try.
Promise imma try this time.
I have to live this lie.
I must be so so mad.

I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a mad girl.
I'm stuck in this world.
I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a mad girl.
I'm stuck in this world.
I am just a mad girl.

There is a thrill both right and wrong gives
keeping in all I feel and do.
I know that this ain't no way to live.
And I know I must find something new.

But I haven't really changed my ways.
I thought to change my ways.
I've wanted to change my ways.
I haven't changed them.

I walk a thin line, I walk a real thin line.
I crossed a thin line, I broke a real thin line.
But I promise imma try.
Promise imma try this time.
I have to live this lie.
I must be so so mad.

I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a mad girl.
I'm stuck in this world.
I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a mad girl.
I'm stuck in this world.
I am just a mad girl.

I'm gonna change for the good, I'm going to change for me.
Oh just you wait and see.
I'm not a broke girl.
Watch me change my world.

I walk a thin line, I walk a real thin line.
I crossed a thin line, I broke a real thin line.
But I promise imma try.
Promise imma try this time.
I have to at least try
I must be so so mad.

I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a mad girl.
I'm stuck in this world.
I'm a mad girl, I'm a mad girl, I'm a mad girl.
I'm stuck in this world.
I am just a mad girl
