The Poet

FredPeyer

I am haunted

I am driven

I am crazy

I am so over the moon

I am smoking too much

I am drinking too much

I am not sleeping enough

I am not eating enough

I am eating too much

I cannot talk to people

I cannot listen to people

I have an invisible friend

I never fit in with others

I love to be alone

I am on the outside, looking in

I don’t care about possessions

I don’t care what the neighbors think

I get lost in my thoughts

I get lost, period.

I contemplate death

I never follow rules
