I'm sorry if this is a bit...chaotic...I've had a lot to say, without the words to say it with.

flowing, floating
moving with my feet
but not my head
not my head

the song is turning into static
and my voice is cracking
take one step
take one step
keep going
you're doing great
don't let this cliff fool you
you can walk on air
you are a god
don't let those words fool you
you are immortal
who needs to live
when you have a lifetime to do it

you're not making any sense

smarten up kid
this is your time to shine
all I see is a fizzle
where a spark should have been

move the speaker closer
so you can lose your hearing
but everything is still coming in crystal clear
because the ringing in your ears
doesn't make a truth a lie
only you can do that

get to the point
you're nothing but words
what are you trying to say

I hate that you have the ears
but I don't have the voice

I don't have the heart

I can completely understand this poem, believe it or not.  I have these conversations in my mind from time to time and I am 37.  I don't think there is anybody that doesn't have these kinds of conversations go on in their heads from time to time.  You are not going crazy - it is normal - a part of routine life.  I know this because I've had 2 counsellors tell me so, and because they do it too.  A great write even if you think it sounded crazy.
