to all those
that ever wonder what it's like
to have delusions
or hallucinations:
touch your nose
or your lips
or your hair
or your ears
touch anything.
you know that your nose is real
right?
you know that whatever you decided to touch
is real.
now
imagine everyone
and i mean everyone
is telling you that it's not.
that your very
very real nose
isn't there.
that it's fake.
some people will scream
others will treat you
like a baby
some will pretend with you
for awhile.
but all of them
their goal will be at first to convince you
that your nose isn't real.
and when that fails
it will be to make you feel so ******
that it doesn't matter
because they don't care about you at all.
and one day
maybe
you'll break.
like me.
you know your nose isn't real.
it couldn't possibly be
it makes no sense
it's stupid
it's just in your head.
but you also know
that it's still there.
that it's still very very real
and you know
it has to be.
so
next time someone
confides in you
or slips up and you see inside
don't say anything negative.
we know.
it hurts.
we just need comfort.
