Not Given Up
It isn't that I am crazy
It isn't that I'm mad
It isn't that I am lonely
Or even that I'm sad.
It isn't that I hate the world
It isn't that I have rage
It isn't that I am confused
Or even that I'm mad.
It isn't that I have no hope
It isn't that I depair
It isn't that I've given up
On a world that seems so bad.
