Ramblings Of Insanity
I sit
I'm surrounded by people
I watch
I hear
I listen to them talk
I try to feel
But I return to nothing
Their voices wash over me
I don't understand
Whispers,giggles,gossip
Why do they bother at all?
I sit where no one can see me
I'm invisible
Or as good as
I'm glad
I gather my loneliness around me
Like a blanket
Comforting and protecting
All around me,there is a vague buzz
Of voices rising higher
Uninspired laughter
You're no different from me
After all
I hear voices in my head
I try to focus
But with the noise all around
I can't hear
I sit
I think
I wonder
Why am I here?
This is not where I belong?
I gather the blanket
Still closer
And I walk ahead
I see people running in different directions
I rely on my cover for protection
I walk ahead
Someone grabs me by the shoulder
Forces me onto a chair
They talk to me
They try to fix me
They try to make me just like them
I-I don't want the same
The more they talk
The more the voices in my head grow quite
I yell in horror
I need them
I block them out
So I can hear me clear
The voices scream in my head
I can't bear it either
Tune in,tune out
There's no release I fear
So I run
I run away
I flee
I can't escape
Not them,not myself
But I run
I run in circles
