Fiction

I spend
so much time
in these words
that it’s
the world
that starts to
sounds like
fiction,
and it’s the
voices in
my head
that I
listen to.
And they
tell me to
stay here.

  7. I can relate to this on so many levels, and at one point in my life, I was so deep in this sort of a situation, it was actually scary.

    And somehow it’s always better than the real one where we clean up cat puke and drag comforters to the laundromat. ..

  19. I think I’d rather stay in one of my alternate worlds with the voices, ha ha. It is true that today’s real world seems like fantasy, dark fantasy.
