hard of hearing bleeding out taking pills in excess hearing voices seeing things unreal sounds playing games different face, different name, different hair, never the same afraid of stale water afraid of change keeping distance finding blame i'm sure some of it is true i'm not a good storyteller after all just a chameleon self defense mechanism stumbling through all the fog when i was little i changed myself every time we moved away i had determined that life was a game and i just had a bad hand to play i learned how from a very young age to start bluffing and counting cards when your identity is molded from ways to avoid pain you start to forget who are don't raise your voice here 2 parts delusions 3 parts fear please believe me, i love you please believe me i do please believe me i'm drowning you don't believe me, do you?
