Crazy for a day

Who is to say who the insane people really are:)

                       crazy for a day
Weary,weary I am so weary,
Thinking these thoughts ,
Running maniacally in my head,
Wondering,wondering,
Searching for drama where there is none,
So they say ,they must be mad.

 

I should sit still but I am too busy,
Doing everything,doing nothing,
I am sorry you have to make an appointment,
To hold a conversation,
Because the voices in my head,
Reserved me for the day.

 

Where is that cackling laughter  coming from?
Good god was that really me,
Shush I think one of the voices got loose,
Quick I have to shove them back in my head
Can they really all fit ?
My head must be huge!!!

 

How dare you say I'm paranoid!!
Who said that?
Seriously I am not insane,
Is this strait jacket really necessary?
If I am mad why do they call you a quack?
Stumped you there didn't I ?

 

Surely you are not a  duck ? doc!!!
Hahaha  I kill me,
No ,no I am not serious it was a joke,
Seriously you ducks need to get a sense of humor,
I refuse to take these pills,
It is unanimous my friends and I agree.

If you lend me your coat,
I could be the doctor today,
I'll even let you wear my custom made jacket,
Who is to say who's crazy?
You who just sits and nods and tells me I'm ill
Surely you jest.

 

I can do that,
I've practiced my nodding.
But these damn pills make me drool,
So what I'll wear a bib,
Just see ,our difference is really our jackets,
So you wear mine today .

The title pulled me into this one lol I felt that this poem was laced with humor throughout, which I really appreciated, but the last line sounded haunting. Saying you wear my jacket today, idk maybe I'm just crazy XD but great poem, it was fun to read!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Funny you .Thank you :)

[Dhaye]

Funny but clever. Isn't it that only what we wear makes us different?
Good job, Vidya.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you dhaye this is exactly the truth:)

[Dhaye]

Welcome, Vidya.

[Baby Ricochet]

You know you're paranoid when you turn on a Spanish speaking TV channel and you think they're talking about you

[Vidya Bacchus]

Haha well said my friend and thank you for reading:)

[Daffy]

We are certainly all the same deep inside, it is just the colour of the jacket that makes us different...so that is a good point you are making here, and a very lighted hearted one too. Metaphorically, I read this as me waiting to see the president of the USA. I went in about half way through the poem, when we had the conversation! I enjoyed this.

[Vidya Bacchus]

lol my dear friend daffy ,i hope you had a pleasant meeting,Thank you for your wonderful review it means a lot.That is true if we look at it rationally or irrationally as the case may be we are all the same:)

[Sheila Kline]

Actually it makes a lot of sense - someone must walk in another's shoes to really understand them! It is amusing to those who can't comprehend the pain one may have in just getting through a day. The struggles may be great, the obstacles seemingly impossible to overcome, but then they carry on if only one step at a time!
I know you mean humor from it but I know too many who actually live this...........

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yes dear lady I did mean humour but I also appreciated when I was finished writing it that there were indeed people whose days were like this.Thinking this way makes perfect sense to them .The way we look at them is probably is the way they look at us.

[Daniel Sala]

Great imagery and descriptions in this poem, a fun read with an interesting question, I think it portrays well what some people actually undergo during a normal day without mocking. Great write, Vidya!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you daniel .I was feeling this kind of way and thought........

[Sami Khalil]

This was crazy and funny. I do agree that part of insanity is paranoia too...Straight jackets sales are on the rise...lol
A splendid write ...:)................

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you sami your words as ever are encouraging.It is nice to write something just easy and funny sometimes.Maybe we should invest in the strait jacket business we might just get rich lol

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha...So many crazy people in the world... Good business...:)......................

[BubblingMe]
