What is Real?
September 4, 2011
If I can feel it, but no one else can,
Is it real?
If I can hear it, but no one else can,
Does it exist?
If I know it, but no one else does,
Is it true?
If I can see it, but no one else can,
Is it there?
These questions cross my mind all night.
I try to come up with an answer.
Nothing.
I try to cry.
Nothing.
I try to smile.
Nothing.
I ask for help
People want to help me
But I don’t know if I want to help myself
I don’t know if I can.
I feel the love.
I know it’s there.
Then why can’t I express mine?

It's real.
"Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
"Of course it is happening inside your head Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
-Harry and Dumbledore
