Day 139: Crazy Ones

I wrote about the idea of being crazy in our own way as a personal note to a friend, and I quickly realized that this applies to almost all of us. In this world where people value being rational, I feel that we are bound to be crazy sometimes, we are bound to make mistakes and follow your heart. These few crazy ones in the world have the power to inspire, to lead, to innovate, to write, to create and in some sense change the way we define them. And it is in this Craziness that we find sanity. We are not bound by promises to anyone else because we made way too many to ourselves which we keep changing to begin with. Our fears are nothing from the outside world they are within and they are sometimes easy to deal with. We are messy in our own way but we know where everything fits and we like to keep it that way. We are wanderers who love the pictures we take and the things we create. We fall in love sometimes with the rush of it, because for now we are hoping someone finds it just as exciting

Crazy Ones
And here's to the crazy ones, who have written to me
To those who have been taken by the world, only to be free
Who believe much of there thoughts wander somewhere else
They are books who have never returned back on their shelves

And I know much has been written about the crazy ones
Those who are tied to the world and would rather be undone
Who have found there corner of sanity amidst this world
Who like to take a chance at things, sometimes give it a whirl

There are no "just rights" in the world, we may refuse to believe the same
We are more than what the world defines us to be, we look for sanity in the insane
I write to thinkers, philosophers and story writers in their comfy chairs
Who have gone out to the world & been themselves on more than just a "dare"

The world is full of those who follow and rarely lead
Be crazy enough to walk the other way, sometimes refuse to pay heed
We are not paintings on the wall, or words that are bound only in our mind
We are the crazy ones, we are free in whatever way you choose craziness to be defined.
