You are NOT CRAZY! Listen to me....

 

Have you ever touched the sun?

by Catherine Duclos 

 

Have you ever touched the sun?

 

Had your darkness burned away

 

By its brilliance and Beauty?

 

I have, and it’s magnificent!

 

The rainbows fall out of the sky,

 

Almost so you can catch them.

 

How can everything be so beautiful

 

That you want to cry?

 

I cry and I laugh and I say thank you

 

To whomever it is that did all This.

 

I am alive, I remember now, I am alive.

 

In the darkness, I forgot.  I forgot all this beauty.

 

This is the way life is supposed to be, for everyone,

 

Freedom and light and love.

 

But people say I’m crazy when I talk like this,

 

That I’m bipolar and I’m just manic.

 

How can that be true when all I’m experiencing is life

 

As it should be, as it is.

 

I’m not crazy.  Don’t call me crazy.  Call me amazing

 

Call me alive!
