Why

an ode to crazy

By Sydney FieldPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Why

Why does every heated word out of your mouth feel like a punch right to the chest.

Why

Why do I feel so twisted and gnarled, like you've morphed my bones into shapes unknown.

Why

Why do I feel like my thoughts aren't my thoughts, and they're words I've been taught to think are my thoughts, but they're not.

Why

Why do you have so much control of my emotions, ticking time bomb of devotion that explodes and we're left with chaotic motions.

Why

Why do you tell me you love me but manipulate me truly until I've fallen into this unruly trap of thinking I'm fucking crazy.

Maybe

I am.
