Crazy-Beautiful

I am beautiful, unique of course – there’s no one else like me

Not saying that I’m perfect aesthetically

I can swing from shy to extravert – sometimes I’m off-the-wall

I’m a complicated person – I am crazy-beautiful

I conjure up ideals that are sometimes out of reach

But I’m willing and pursuing ’cause it’s in me to beseech –

For better things - for brighters days; don't want to feel the pains

I am selfish – yet selfless – there are no financial gains

I just want what everyone else does – in an emotionally fulfilling way

A person goes – but a feeling remains when that person walks away

Life is an ongoing lesson, a gamble, a game

I’ve wasted love and compassion on those who don’t feel the same

But it’s bad to feel bitter until the bitter end

I am giving and I’m loyal, I’m your best-ever friend

Still I seem to get hurt – and still I ask why?

I question my whole-being as I look up to the sky -

Wondering if I have a preordained destiny

Is someone testing my strength – my integrity?

’Cause I’m loving and kind and full of conviction

Not always kind to myself is my only contradiction

Sometimes tough on the outside – yet crumbling inside

But I’m only human and can’t always hide –

A pain – a tear – still I continue to smile

And I’ll continue to laugh – though I’m sad for a while

And if I make you laugh too – at my jokes or expense

Then I’ve given the best medicine I could ever dispense

But humour aside, I can listen to your woes

It's a deeper side of me that I can juxtapose

Some days I can’t figure myself out – for the mad, impetuous things I do

Yes I’m crazy, but I’m beautiful - and all the more for liking you
