Doing What I Know



 
The psychiatrist said to me
That I was crazy and
The poetry was part of it
Trying to understand
By art was at the heart of it

Whatever is to be
Of me is in the poetry
Where it has always been
What I write down in Lancean
Is my reality

But now my diagnosis then
Of poetry still makes
Me know how I got what it takes
That does not go away
So I will go on anyway

To do the best I can
For the rest of it crazily
But poetically
Going on knowing how I go
On doing what I know

And that it means something
To you to me means everything

Some people believe to be an artist you must be a little off or crazy. I don't agree. You're creative and think outside the box.

I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane.
