MANIAC
<p>MANIAC</p><p>They call me a maniac—</p><p>‎not for the chaos I cause,</p><p>‎but for the calm I refuse to fake.</p><p>‎I walk with storms stitched in my chest,</p><p>‎lightning tucked beneath my tongue,</p><p>‎thunder echoing in every thought</p><p>‎I never dared to speak aloud.</p><p>‎I laugh too loud at quiet things,</p><p>‎cry in silence when the world is watching,</p><p>‎dance on the edges of reason</p><p>‎like gravity never owned me.</p><p>‎My mind—</p><p>‎a crowded room of echoes and fire,</p><p>‎where dreams don’t sleep</p><p>‎and fears don’t die,</p><p>‎they just learn to wear different faces.</p><p>‎I loved like a maniac once—</p><p>‎reckless, unguarded, wild—</p><p>‎gave pieces of my soul</p><p>‎like they were endless,</p><p>‎like I was endless.</p><p>‎But even madness learns.</p><p>‎Now I carry my chaos differently,</p><p>‎like a crown made of broken thoughts,</p><p>‎like a king of a kingdom</p><p>‎no one else can survive.</p><p>‎Call me a maniac—</p><p>‎I won’t argue.</p><p>‎It takes a certain kind of madness</p><p>‎to feel this deeply</p><p>‎and still remain whole.</p><p>‎</p><p>‎@DREAM BRAXEN </p>
