Lunatics Called Geniuses

If you were to diagnose me 

With the right form of insanity

It'd have to be creativity

There are voices in my head

I thread what they say

And that's not ok

I need some medication

For this sensation

Of obligation

Every time a line or rhyme

Wanders through me

I need to state

Or create a place for it

I don't have needles

But I constantly knit

Traits and quirks together

I listen to the rain

And claim it's the past speaking

Tweaking moments of my life 

Into instants of light

And there's no treatment in sight

Because I put prose in prozac

The riddle in riddlin

Every piece of advice becomes a device

that i try to spin

Into characters I treat as kin

Then place in a bin 

To use at my disposal

Until I can muster a proposal of place

A use to my taste

and I waste the pieces of my self I put on paper

I can't taper the taunts I hear in the wind

Because I think it's god tapping on my shoulder

Every boulder

Is a holder of secrets

I pretend I'm nature's Ryan Secrest

Obsessed with obtaining 

A way of narrating and explaining

The world that I'm just another member of

I accept only fantasies

Of life and love

Don't believe in stuff

Like ends and enough

The world's greatest profanity is humanity

And I wish you could hand it to me

So I could see some clarity

Because inspiration comes and stares and me

And I don't know what to say

It's that awkward elevator silence

That won't be silenced

Won't be sent away 

It likes to play within the caverns of my mind

Unwind my DNA

It's madness

The maddest madness

That I possess

And I can't address

The unrest

Cased within my bones

Thoughts about voices and tones

Trying to be the one who broke the phones

So I could hear the message

Because sometimes you have to make it unclear

To make it make sense

I'm getting tense

Because I don't know what I'm saying

Just playing with words

Hoping that some idiot is going to make sense of them

Squint their eyes hard enough to discover a gem

Find the amazing in my mania

Say there are lunatics called geniuses

And that I'm one of them.
