Maybe I will go for a walk today

          No you won't, cats are out to claw your eyes out

Stop telling me what to do

          Never, stay in bed where no one will get you

Why

         They are watching you waiting to pounce

Who

        Everyone wants to murder you to pieces

They do. Maybe I will stay in

        Look for bugs under you bed

They bugged my room?

        Everything, tear it all apart

                                    *knock knock*

It's my mom

        Don't let her in, she kills people

                                    Sweetie I brought you a snack

Should I take it

        Hit it to the ground! It's laced with drugs.

Okay, now what

        Slam the door and lock her out

                                     *slams door*

Maybe I should go see her

         No, she had a gun on her

What

          There's a space shuttle down the road to take you to safety

Now?

         Write a note in bubble letters saying that you're going to safety in Porkham

Done

       Jump out of the window, you can fly

Okay

       You're not dead. You're alive

I wrote this piece from the perspective of someone with schizophrenia. This is meant to sound crazy, ridiculous, and insane. I hope that people enjoy the writing and find that it is from this point of view.
