I often hear people say she
is crazy, but what do they really mean?
Do they mean I am affected with
madness or insanity?
That I should be put away in
a sanatorium or hidden away in a dungeon?
Or my actions make me
appear to be senseless or foolish when I constantly write notes to the boy I
like but never give them to him.
Can it be that I have a fantastic or ridiculous dream that someday I will become a beauty queen?
Or am I the oddball of my
family acting totally unsound or bizarre.
Like wearing a clown hat to a
baby shower or like attaching bird feathers to my swimsuit.
Or maybe I am full of energy
and work like a mad dog to finish painting my room before the sunsets.
Or can it be I do foolish
things like buy shoes of every size and color while my closet is bursting at
the seams.
When I show great enthusiasm
at a ballgame by shouting “Way to go,” “hold then back”.
When someone tells a joke and
I do not laugh, I am said to lack a sense of humor.
