I am fine. I am okay. Don't worry about me, please. No one wants to believe it. No one wants to hear it.
Am I crazy? The voice, the people, the insomnia....is this real? Are they real? Am I being paranoid? Is it all just a hallucination?
Maybe it's just stress. Maybe they're wrong. Maybe I just need more rest. Maybe I am messed up like they shoutandscreamatme iminsaneimnotiam
Nonononononon iamnotcrazyiamnotcrazy notnotnotnot CRAZY
Of course it's just the pressure. The stress. I need a release, eh? It helps, I promise.
Trust me. Don't trust the voices or shadows or dreams. Tell me I'm not crazy, tell me I'm okay. Hold me, don't let me struggle. Kill me.
Can't you see it hurts? I need you. No, I don't need you. I'm okay. I promise
Leave me alone.
Really, believe me. (I'm lying) Go away, please.
Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies. The bees are in the fire, Benedict is a crook. The flames they lick higher, spiders cover me.
BuZz buzz buzzbuzzbuzzbuzzbuzz scratching, clawing, spitting, awake.
You cant go please dont go crap i'm going to hurt someone oh god i cant remember why cant i see darknesseverywhere
