Why must you panic?
You worry about everything, why do you worry?
You freak out over the tiniest of mistakes, why do you do that?
Everything can be calm in the house but all you can think about is what if the house is on fire?
The house is on fire?
No, but you keep telling yourself that as your lightbulb flickers
There's a flickering lightbulb?
Do we have any more extra ones in the cabinet?
Because I cannot go without seeing clearly at night, or early in the morning
I am scared of the dark.
The dark?
Is it going to be a very dark night?
No I have a light, but what I am afraid of is that a person is watching through my window.
How is there someone in your window?
You are in the suburbs, nothing really happens
Except that hole in your window, what was that by?
Oh no is there another shooter?
What will happen?
I need to protect my sister
MY sister.
Protect?
I can't even protect myself from my depression, how will I be able to Protect other people?
Depression?
Why do you have depression?
You have so much to live for!
Well yes, I am a privileged white female, how much more spoiled can I get?
No, depression happens to everyone, just remember that.
Remember?
I forgot to do something today, what was it?
What. Was. It?
I smell burning,
Shit. I left the toaster on for too long,
What if I burn the house down?
Burn?
My toast is burning, like my rage on the inside
Rage?
We do not talk about that
Talk?
We don't think it
Think?
I need to stop thinking before my time goes out..
Time?
What's the time today?
I've slept for so long that it seems like a never ending cycle of nothingness, sleep awaken eat, sleep awaken eat, and for what?
I have nothing to do
I don't care anymore
..but why?
........why not?
