You want help? For this short poem change 'your' to 'you're' and decide whether you want to stick with 'gonna' or correct it to 'going to.' As for the thought in the poem, I guess there's truth in it - when I don my writer's disguise, I try to look eccentric (crazy?).

Gee, I must be the odd one, because I'm crazy even when I'm not writing.

This is quite true. I agree with those below, "you're" because it is you + are rather than ownership "your". Your phone, your house. You want to state you are a writer, and thus it is you're.
This is a funny piece. A little known fact about a lot of older crazy writers was that they tended to have addictiver personalities and abused substances like alcohol. The other interesting thing was that fountain pen ink, which many of the old crazies wrote with, had numerous chemicals in it which could cause you to literally go crazy. which is a very little knonw fact about amost writers. They used to wet the end of their fountain pens with their tongues, thus injesting the dangerous chemicals.

A simple, strong, humorous statement.
Both of the "your" should be "you're" because it's short for "you are".
I'm a grammar freak. hahaha.

Since you're asking for grammar help: it should three full stops for an elipses, and it should be "you're", not "your".
