Call me crazy one more time -- I dare you.

Call me Crazy

By: Erin

Go ahead; Call me crazy one more time

Or insane, incompetent, how about hopeless

I don’t care anymore about the names you give me

Because that has NOTHING to do with who I am

Or who I will be

Watch – you’ll see

You can label people all you want

But don’t for a second think you’re putting a meaning to me or them

But you are instead defining who you are

And your reputation won’t be for being kind, fun or even a rock star

I’m not perfect

But

I’m not crazy or insane or incompetent or hopeless either

And neither are they

So watch what you say

Maybe it fills some insecurity of your own

But if that’s the case, talk to someone

You’re not alone

So go ahead call me crazy one more time

It won’t matter because I know the truth

Those words aren’t about me at all

You say them to feel tall

Because you actually feel very small

I don't feel okay tonight.

Not Okay

By: Erin

In this moment I don’t feel okay

My thoughts are a mess and I don’t know what to say

Tears could fall and shed

But I choose to appear “strong” instead

This is rough

Haven’t I had enough?

I just wish….

This moment would pass right by

So I can stop wanting to cry

And I can invest in the life around me

And take the moment and just ‘be’

Just be the person that is me

Whoever that happens to be

I guess when I feel better we shall see....
