They say he is crazy.
Is he?
Can it really be true?
I allways said I hated him.
Do I?
Now that he's gone I'm not sure I do.
They say "Look,she's fine with all this."
Am I?
Life's falling apart and im not sure i am.
I said I could be fine without him.
Can I?
Now they've locked him up,and I dont know if I can.
They say he can be fixed there.
Can he?
or is it just a crack-head,Crazy holding cell.
They tell me "It'll be fine."
Will it?
now I'm not sure it will.
They say he's my dad.
Is he?
I dont recognise the druggie in the room with the padded walls.
They say he is crazy
is he?
Can it really be true?
I allways said I hated him.
Do I?
Now that he's gone I'm not sure I do.

What a different poem, the way it was writen and the way I felt from reading it was very interesting.

Ah!  The format of this is magnificent!  Truly original, you deserve a lot of credit for this.     I think it's one of your best, it obviously had a heap of emotion packed into it, and it has great form and everything in contrast.  This poem has it all!  
Excellent job.

Very nice done. This poem was quite sad and I'm sorry you're going through this. I liked the poem though and it was a very original format. Well done!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This format is very unique... I loved it.  You expressed yourself so well.  It's very well written.  I hope this poem isn't a personal situation, but if it is, I'm sorry, and keep your head up.  I hope things get better.  Nice job on the poem.
