Reviews For: and we call them crazy

Tiff :] 2008-06-18 ch 1, anon.	abuseI LOVE the last stanza. It really holds a bit of truth in it, and somehow.. made me think of 'mad as a hatter'. :] But seriously, gorgeous poem.
I.O.K.O 2008-02-28 ch 1,	abuseand that's how i saved the day. ... Good, maybe (not pertaining to the poem, but the last sentence/answer).
siphoned afterglow 2008-02-26 ch 1,	abuse"and no one gets out of here alive." The whole piece has a melancholy drag lying underneath the words and it surfaces up well with the last line. beautiful? Yes its beautiful and a whole lot more. I love the way you can connect emotions in such a way that relates to everyone. another favorite.
ServalSpotz 2008-02-25 ch 1,	abuseYep. I completely agree. For all I know I'm pretty much insane. I scare myself sometimes with my thoughts. Maybe the ones who try to keep it all contained are worse than those who are obviously insane. At least they get treatment. Splendiferous (and I really don't care if that's not a real word) poem. Bye.
relapse into change 2008-02-24 ch 1,	abusebut then again who ever said we were alive in the first place maybe we're all just already dead, ohgod this hits me hard the whole flow of it..so lovely, just seemed so natural and there was no anger in it and i love how you can convey so much emotion into a piece enough to make me want to cry
paradigm se7en 2008-02-24 ch 1,	abuseThe concept of the crazy people seeing the world for what is - that's not new. But that's just a nitpick. The narrator's confusion about the world, about conforming - it aches to read through those first three paragraphs. The oh-shit-that's-my-life-right-there kind of ache, the good kind. The first line in paragraph 4, about Normality, was beautifully sublime. Thumbs up, overall. Lovely work.
dress her up in fairytales 2008-02-23 ch 1,	abuse"and i want it/so much but they tell me i can't have it." wow, those lines hit me hard ... very hard. and all of the second stanza is simply amazing. the whole piece overall is beautiful, gorgeous, and leaves me somewhat speechless. definitely favoring.
Ghost Planet 2008-02-23 ch 1,	abuseLove this, especially the " Everyone's a freak when you look close enough, but some of us are weirder than others, like the people i envy who laugh to themselves at the walls of the asylum." Part. Keep writing. -x-Eilish.
lomz 2008-02-23 ch 1,	abusethe idea, diction, and direction are very cool but the ending's kinda trite - i might take off the last sentence perhaps if i were you.. or maybe you could just make it like "And we call them crazy, but perhaps we're the crazy ones striving for normality where it doesn't exist" or something to that effect or just "we call them crazy but maybe they're the only ones that are sane" other than that i am a fan
Crying-Without-Tears 2008-02-23 ch 1,	abuseLOVE the insanity ~BCB~
simpleplan13 2008-02-23 ch 1,	abuseI like this piece a lot... the metaphors in the first stanza are awesome and I love the twilight zone reference... it's one of my favorite shows... I also love the ending it brings up a really great point... I felt like there should be a comma before but in the third line... but that's probably just me.. also I was surprised "shall i just/ follow it off the cliff." didn't end with a question mark.. it seemed like a question to me... Anyhow it's a really beautiful and powerful piece.. awesome job PS If you're bored today check out the review game's review marathon... there's a link in my profile
Moondog Dozier 2008-02-22 ch 1,	abuse"Everyone's a freak-when you look close enough", is such a telling and true statement. The myth of normality is exposed well here. If there was a "normal", who would want to be that. Individual differences are perhaps the most important part of humanity. I like how this focuses on the speaker's individual situation, while giving it room to breath by giving it a universal feel. Excellent conceptualization. Good write.
