I’m Not Crazy
I have started seeing people. Not in the sense of dating or in the sense of people watching. I have started seeing people who I don’t know exist I know where they live and they know where I live. They live with me and I can’t live without them. I can’t talk to them I can’t even fully see them. They live just outside of my field of vision I’m not going crazy I can’t be. I’m not scared of them at all they of course startled me when I first saw them but as them coming to visit me became a normal occurrence I started to grow fond of them. They’re the only certainty I have. I have them and they have me they’ll always be there. Maybe it’s the same thing as an imaginary friend but they have to be real they simply have to be. They’re trying to communicate with me now. It’s difficult to understand because I can’t fully look at them or they leave me. They’re always just out of reach it’s so frustrating I’ll try to go to a doctor soon. The doctor didn’t help. He prescribed me lots of pills with names I can’t pronounce. I don’t need crazy pills, I’m not crazy. I’m not crazy. The people are visiting me more often now. They’re the only friends I have as of late. My other friends said I wasn’t doing too well, they said my eyes were baggy and it looked like I was always looking past them. They just can’t see my real friends they just don’t know. I’m not crazy. My friends have started talking to me! I don’t know how they can but I don’t care I’m so happy! I’m not crazy. They’re telling me I don’t need anyone else. I already knew that of course everyone else hates me. Not my friends though not my friends. I’m not crazy. I’ve been so tired recently like unusually tired. I slept for thirty six hours yesterday or maybe it would count as today but regardless of how long I slept my friends are still with me. They love me and I can’t live without them.
