I've been talking to myself a lot recently
I'll invent characters to converse with
demons to battle
antagonistic villains who pose opposing points
I like the thrill of having someone other than myself to talk to
even when I'm alone,
other people do exactly what I imagine them to do-
that is, if I'm imagining them.
they are the back to my forth
make me find and close loopholes I subconsciously noticed
but it wasn't in character for me to acknowledge their presence.
that's what the others are for!
and it's not like I'm schizophrenic- I'm not,
I don't become these other people for moments;
I invented them for the pleasure of their conversation
because they see things I couldn't see, otherwise.
my character is not all-encompassing
and it's nice to have other views than mine, sometimes...

am I really talking to only myself?
"Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia."
