I May be Crazy but It
Keeps Me From Going Insane
a seer and a seeker I
am
find my way a
path between the sage
shrinking from reaching fingers
follow footsteps in the hot
sand
the sun shines daily exception
rain
childhood in the shadow knows no laughter
hidden in full
light of day
adults remain prisoners
to secret
deeds of others
a knot tied bound martyr/ victim/ predator
the human spirit made of steel hard
as a diamonds
through adversity grows or
goes
crazy

"Through adversity grows....or goes crazy". Yes! LOVE this poem!!!!!!
Oh, Annell, you have spoken the truth. I do think we humans have choices as to what to do with adversity. I like the idea that you have to grow or go crazy. I often heard that it will either kill you or make you stronger.
Brilliant tittle...i think growth definitely applies to you...although sometimes we do indeed need to go a little crazy to stay sane (ish) ;)
Love it very much, Annell! Your new style helps to reflect the scattering thoughts and emotions. xx
Those are really about the only two choices we have (unfortunately). How I wish there were a third option!
Great title and first line. Grows or goes - maybe a little of both.
Crazy's not a bad place.
Annell, I am not sure if I am growing or going crazy, maybe both. Nice poem.

Suffering comes to us all. It is what we do with it that matters.
Going crazy can sometimes help us to grow. Well written, and again, this style or form really sets the poem apart and allows the reader that feeling of scattered, maybe even tattered thoughts,

I like this.
ha. still loving the form...so many little lines that run together and add their own bit of meaning...i think i might be a little crazy as well...but that is not a bad thing at all...smiles.
Love the layout of this great poem. It suits it. Also reading it down the lines. makes for an interesting Dada poem too.
