They say I’m a nutter
And I know why
It’s because I place value
On things money can’t buy
They say I’m a schizo
And I know why
It’s because the world looks different
In my minds eye
They say I’m a depressive
And I know why
It’s because sometimes
I can’t help but cry
They say I’m a loony
And I know why
Though you’d never guess
In my jacket and tie
They say I’m manic
And I know why
It’s because I believe
That it’s possible to fly
They say I’m suicidal
And I know why
It’s because I’m not afraid
To curl up and die
I’ve just been sectioned
And I know why
It’s because to their questions
I just couldn’t lie
Society shuns me
This I don’t know why
Are we really so different
You and I?
