He seemed no different
from the rest
Just a healthy normal boy
His mama always did her best
And he was daddy's
pride and joy
He learned to walk
and talk on time
But never cared
much to be held
and steadily he would decline
Into his solitary shell
As a boy he was considered
somewhat odd
Kept to himself
most of the time
He would daydream in and
out of his own world
but in every other way
he was fine
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell
A temporary catatonic
Madman on occasion
When will he break out
Of his solitary shell
He struggled to get
through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself
onto the page
Writing for hours at a time
As a man he was a danger
to himself
Fearful and sad
most of the time
He was drifting
in and out of sanity
But in every other way
he was fine
He's a Monday morning lunatic
Disturbed from time to time
Lost within himself
In his solitary shell
A momentary maniac
With casual delusions
When will he be let out
Of his solitary shell
