the real me.

Knowledge flows from these hands,
I play, I sing, I dance,
I go from place to place,
but that's normal.

I bounce off of walls,
I fly through books,
I see life as it is,
and I drive crazy those around me.

I eat 100 pixie sticks for breakfast,
drink 4 cups of coffee, and 6 monster XXL energy drinks,
I take ginseng pills and Ritalin,
I relax from this.

But,
all is not well they say to me,
all is not right in his head they say to each other,
they look at me and run away.

that's life for ya,
show who you are and scare all or get arrested,
hide who you are and feel yourself pity or get arrested,
either way is easy to go to jail.

more fun to go around and club people with random blunt objects,
and to run the mile in 4 and a half minutes followed by tackling your gym teacher,
and of course, reading 20 books that are 500 pages in a week.

the problem is.
they see me moving with such speed and vigor,
and so little care,
they know to hide.

on the other hand i just sit and sleep or go about life mopping about like a bum and doing nothing to actually benefit myself nor anyone else, except my fiance, and maybe 2 other people.  they think i am normal, but I'm not.  my girlfriend has seen me let myself loose a couple times.  she was the most energetic and crazy person i know around.  she runs in fear when i let myself out.  she can vouch if i speak when I'm hyper, ill say 20 words in a second at such a speed of pronunciation, that by the time you figure out what i said your head is spinning and you don't realize its even English anymore.

Author notes

. When you’re insane everyone knows you’re crazy, when you’re sane no one knows you’re crazy.
bah stupid computer...it erased what i wrote here and i cant remember it.  anyway this poem is truth.  the part of what i take in the morning thats mostly acurrate, i usually have that much, if i dont then it doesnt help.  when i let loose my energy people see how psychotic i really am and i have seen people almost kill themselves in car recks and other ways just to get away from me.  oh wel, i didnt make them...i should say i didnt choose to...bah w/e they ran, its all theyre fault, they could have stayed around me but i think they wouldnt have last much longer.  good luck with contest to other poets, and thanks for hosting it.

And one time he was talking really fast and it soundedlike somesort of alien language and I tried calling Ein to get her to hear it but you wouldn't talk into the phone.
