When this is being read,
Am I reading it,
Or are you?
Am I projecting my thoughts into words?
Or are you projecting yourself onto me?
Can you even hear me?
Am I asking that
Or are you?
My head hurts.
Are we any different?
Do I even exist to you?
Or are you just writing
Without caring who reads.
Wait.
No. That's not right.
I'm the writer.
Right?
Are my thoughts my own?
If everyone relates,
Are they really mine?
This isn't original.
This is shit.
I don't want to read this.
How could you write this?
You wrote it.
Not me.
These are your thoughts.
This isn't good.
We're both thinking that.
Doesn't matter which of us
Is writing or reading.
We hate this.
This guy needs help.
You need help.
They're your thoughts.
I need help.
You're losing it.
My head hurts.
I disgust you.
I'm you.
You're me.
Stop.
