I'm not crazy ...or am I


Poem Artwork

Engaged in mindless drudgery

With dullish chores of daily grind

My head, left in a quandary

Gives thoughts free reign within the mind

 

The mental images they send

Portray a song of anger sung

So hush now, overactive mind

And guard your vivid vicious tongue

 

“Shut up!”  I say, “Leave me alone!

Refrain from voicing spiteful stance

Silence your corrosive tones

And give my common sense a chance

 

To cool my brow with silent balm

Without this wild obstructive riot

Allow me just a moments’ calm

And please, for once and all, Be Quiet!”

Precious! Again with the strength to push the chaos aside and soak up the tranquility. It is a hard thing to do sometimes and takes someone aware enough to appreciate the difference. I would offer "There Is No Quiet Time" as a similar lament. I am a rhythmic rhymer myself and appreciate your poetic skills.

The chameleon of inspiration, this voice chorus so many of us choose to deal with, rather than medicate. It's good to honor such a malady from time to time...keeps imagination's edges honed.

This is what I like about Authors Den--the opportunity to discover new authors through reviews of others works. This is a great poem, and I can't wait to read more.

Inner Peace is a wondrous feeling once attained.

Yes, we must banish those angry thoughts before they burst out in a vicious, hurtful way and gain nothing in the process. I think this is where people get the idea of bargaining with the devil.

I know its serious subject matter, but there is so much I can say to maybe make ur voices more calm...maybe something of the drink to calm them and give you some silence...e

this is a so well written description of those times when we are unable to turn off our minds running on when all we want is the solace of peace

Hah! Laughable, even though the subject is deadly serious. Why our thoughts continue at times to think and conjure things we really don't care to think about. But there they are, and they will not go away until they are damn good and ready. I know of these out-of-control voices, but like you, I don't understand them.
