Am I?
Am I?
By Rae Rae Arango
I hear these walls speaking ta' me --
making me crazy,or making me believe
I am---nothin' left ta' do but
imagine I'm talkin' ta' you and you
'n you! "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shout.
But you 'n you don't shut up --
tellin' me what ta' do --callin'
me crazy -- am I? But you keep me
sane -- or am I? I feel like I'm
burried alive,pounding and screaming
to let me out! Am I dead? Am I?
Cuz if I am,this Heaven in white
seems like Hell while I hear you
and you 'n you echoing off the walls.
"LEAVE MY HEAD ALONE!"
You tell me I'm alive - am I? Cuz
this don't seem like livin'...
or am I just crazy?
