My thoughts run wild sometimes,
I need to put what I feel to paper.
I learn that normal is not what it seems,
And the insane has it's gray areas.

I write these thoughts down each night,
No one knows I feel them.
Sometimes I want to hide away from all the day's pain.
I wish that I could make sense to me.

Please understand when I write.
It's hyperbole, and warped realities.
I feel these things, I then magnify it so you may understand...
I wish I would make sense to you.

I need no help from you,
I just need someone to listen.
Worry not about what you can't change in me.
I'll be fine without advice.

*written for those who think my poetry is a cry for help...just read, understand, and take it for what it is, my feelings morphed into art. Thanks for reading!

I understand what you're saying. You're saying that you feel things, and then you exagerate them a bit when you write,and then people think that you have really serious issues. I hope you understand when people take dark poetry a little too seriously. We would much rather be safe than sorry, and if you just explain the situation you are in before you post your poem (and if your post isn't "over the top", if you know what I mean), you'll find that we won't worry as much. We just want to help the people with serious problems, and sometimes it's hard to tell the diffrence between someone who has a serious problem and someone who doesn't. Just try to understand, we're doing our best!

I completely understand! Basically this poem was written for my relatives and friends here around me who worry unreasonably. Sometimes I just deeply feel hurt, and this is the way I express all that so I don't go crazy. Thanks for reading and commenting, I'm just trying to explain myself, sometimes I have a little trouble with that!

This was awesome and I definatly understand your situation. People begin to think you are going crazy or something...when it's only your art. That's why mainly I've kept my poems to myself until lately...it kinda helps to have this forum....u don't get judged by those who can hurt you. Good luck!
