ghost

another mind has arrived
it is not mine
it not anybody's
it does not exist

it is a ghost
that i made up
it is a ghost
from my imagination

my mind's okay
but my thoughts aren't
i am dying
mentally

it is a ghost
that doesn't exist
it is a ghost
inside my mind

i can't shut it off
like they say
i can't stop aching
like they do

it is a ghost
that is fictional
it is a ghost
from my brain

i've been waiting for it
to die slowly
but it doesn't
it keeps haunting me

it is NOT a ghost
it is myself,
tricking my brain
it is not a ghost
