Why I Am the Way I Am

By E.B. LeePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Other people claim you’re strange

The way you write you must be deranged

No one believes when nothing is wrong

I just love the sick and the twisted with no cause

My mind deafens me with stories to tell

All about people getting unnervingly close to hell

Why read or think about happy endings

What I think about is closer to our self being

I consider myself a rational absurdist

I find no point in being a realist

The world is too real anyways

Why not find a moment of escape

Try to believe in something fake

Let your dreams take you somewhere

Or in my case your nightmares

I feel a connection to the creatures of the night

They’re just people who excepted it’s okay to not be alright

Why do we need company – why do we need sound

Nothing is wrong with isolation and having nothing aloud

All I hope

Is in reading this you find hope

Knowing you’re not as strange

As you felt you were
