Yes, I’m mad, but do you not see?
No one else has such clarity
Suffering, how can you not know?
You helped the madness really grow
‘Til I thought I could not go on
I didn’t think I’d last ‘til dawn
But I did, and the next day too
Several years, I’ve made it through
I survived and I’ve become strong
What I know, I knew all along
I was born my father’s daughter
not meant to be ego fodder
My mind is not like all of those
who stay sane within evil’s throes
God is with me ev’rywhere I am
leading me to the Promised Land
My knowledge becoming more vast
As it grows, learning from my past
Philosophy, so very clear
ev’rything equals nothing there
I am not as others would think
The way I know is quite unique
What does “this” mean? Quagmired thinking
Loneliness, my heart’s still sinking
Braver now, cope and tolerate
changing the course of future fate
With someone or no one at all
I’ll always rise up from the fall
