I may be going crazy-
My life is just a blur...
I guess I finally realized
That things aren't like they were.

My home is in a turmoil-
My business life the same...
And a haunting voice keeps telling me-
"You must bear all the blame."

A fool I was, and I still am-
To think that life could hold...
Happiness for men like me,
Who's hearts and minds are cold.

Cold from harsh reality-
Decisions we have made...
When it comes to social grace-
We never made the grade.

I loved and then I pushed away-
The very one I loved.
Sometimes it seems there's no return-
When from one's heart you're shoved.

Some people say I'm crazy...
I guess that that is bad...
But the thing that really bothers me...
I think I'm going mad.

Gunslinger, very good write. I enjoyed all the emotions you displayed and there's much truth in each line. Hope this is not your current dilemman. Cheryl
