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.
