"When the least they could do to you was everything, then the most they could do to you suddenly held no terror." -Terry Pratchett, Small Gods


There seems to be a wall in my mind,
It was not put up by me,
I feel myself spinning around and around,
The road is far and I can only walk it….

Stand near me and I feel your breath on the back of my neck,
I take you while you leave,
Alone by myself,
I laugh because your funny,

Seeking me out because I “might be lost”,
Dreams are my only friends when you seem to hate me,
I envy nothing but your ability to lie,
I feel your breath on the back of my neck,

Your not here,
I feel your breath on the back of my neck,
Your not there,
Yet I turn towards you to see that fleeting smile you never give me,

Keep in mind that your love hurts me more than your hate,
I envy your ability to lie to my face and still mean it,
I run away and you find me,
I find you are always there when I don’t want you,

But gone when I do,
Why should I be the one to want you so badly when
You don’t want me, too?
I want what you’ve taken from me,

Yet I don’t know your name,
I laugh because it’s so funny,
You know everything about me,
And yet I don’t know your name,

I have heard you call for me,
But when I turn towards you,
There is never anyone there,

You laugh at me behind your hand,
Except I realize…
You are not
Real.

My imagination,
It hates
Me
So good.
