Why am I half crazy?

by Michael D Nalley   Jan 14, 2009


In the sanity statistic
Is mental illness realistic?
If one out of every four
Peoples mental heath's poor

My three best friends are sane
So I guess that makes it plain
That I have came up short
With an illness of some sort

May God bless all the fools
Who follow all the rules
Written religiously and spoken
Only to have their hearts broken

If I had a half a mind
I would look and find
All of the reasons why
Or at least give it a try

If the truth was like our sun
In a system with just one
Everything wouldn't be hazy
And I wouldn't be half crazy

    I enjoyed this, I found the idea to be both original and unique in concept and it made for a refreshing read.

    The flow was flawless throughout, and the whole time I was reading I was smiling throughout.

    ^^ Easily my favourite stanza of the piece, made me giggle.

    I find alot of "funny" poems to be exactly the oppisite, and I find them somewhat difficult to write, however you made it look effortless here and I think you did a great job with this piece.

    Well the last time i commented your poems it's also about mental illness. I have no idea how is the illness relavant to you. But i think you have really portrayed the message really well. I agree with Sherry of how you said the said if 3 out of 4 of ur friends are sane leaving the last one with half mind. Well think you're still sane as your poem still makes sense to me. Keep up the good work

    Excellent Job
    5/5
