Crazy

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

Yes, I’m crazy --
Crazy about nature
Crazy about animals
Crazy about God and my beliefs
Crazy about living with truth
Crazy about so many things
​
I’m not crazy though
About the way you try
to make me feel inferior
As if there’s something wrong
With being myself
With being judged

That’s God’s job, not yours, not mine
​
You can try to get the best of me
That’s fine.
That’s on you.
My best defense? No defense
​
I don’t deal with crazy
I only try my best --
My best to be myself
To make it through the day
To enjoy good moments

So if you think I’m crazy
That’s on you. Not me
I’m good with being me
And God is good
With how He created me

We all have a choice
I choose: good, happy, God, truth, love, patience, forgiveness, compassion

Give it a try
It’s easy, really --
Just be you
Don't be scared
Look inside instead of outward
Be who God created you to be

Use His gifts to guide you -
Faith, hope and love
Faith in Him to grow
Hope to light the way
And the greatest of all
Love for one another.
