Nuts

Always been crazy, used to talk to God

Under box cars slept lazy, others thought me odd

Walked broken ledges, in dark of night 

Made no pledges, never thought it right

Wadded white water, though I didn't swim too well

Bare foot, rats did slaughter, stomped 'em all to hell

Without a job married young, set myself on fire

Grabbed a wasp nest, stung, in an argument called myself a liar

Made my bed with snakes, slept in snow

drove without brakes, hair on my chin won't grow

Drove fast when I was hazy in the brain

Yes, I'm crazy, it's the only thing keeps me from being insane

this doesn’t sound like you, Soren ,so it must be a dream, or maybe not…. maybe you were high on pot…or something else…..your words are those of a “ Madman”…. with all the accoutrements …..perhaps crazy is just a few pranks, but insanity is real and according to you….you are not insane!
warmly, B

Thanks for the read Betty. People aren't always what they seem to be and aren't always who they are. Although all these things happen they don't all the time. People aren't crazy all the time either but they are insane all the time. Appreciate the kind words.

Haven't heard anyone speak this way since I worked the midnight shift on the mental health crisis line.

Yea John that brings back old memories of working the graveyard at the ER on crisis. A lot of looneys there. Ya just have to do something different once in a while to keep sane. Thanks so much for the read and comment

Loved this glimpse into a mind in flux. There is something to be said for living on the edge, movie heroes do it! ...but somehow I don't think it's for me😅

Living on the edge keeps the adrenalin flowing but one needs a rest from now to then. Thanks for the read and comment it is always most appreciated
