tonight i don't feel like writing about me
because every word i have inside my soul has been said
and the order doesn't matter
because we all get the same message
essentially: i am lonely and lost without absolutely zero confidence
and no one likes to be alone
so here we go
ill invent something new to make myself feel better
and maybe we can all slip inside
Katie sat and played with her hair for hours or minutes, she wasn't quite sure
"Katie", she heard, the voices, in her head, outside, she couldn't tell
all she knew was her hair, the straight browness, the dead ends, the tingling prick on the top of her scalp reminding her this body was still sort of breathing
hospitals creeped her out
she didn't want to be here on this saturday night with strangers in tight black clothing
"Katie"
again and again as though that stupid word was all it would take to get her back when she got like this
what was this?
nothingnothingnothing
she could disappear
it was her secret power her saving grace
she didnt want to be here and so she was simply gone
as she drifted around in her cloud of dust, eyes zoning out turning faces into unidentifiable blurs, pieces of reality began rising to her consciousness
she could feel them creeping up, not quite interfering but they would they would and there was nothing she could do to stop them
this is your life so just go fucking live in it
who was that? her? a stranger? a god?
song clouds magic melodies floated over her brain
we're not really here, but we're really not there
she could wake up if she wanted
she could face this
and suddenly like a snap, she felt a hand grab her arm and that was it, the absorption so total and terrifying she just had to give in.
like a gasp she felt her hands and heart start again and she was crying and walking and everyone said thank god she's alright you really fucking freaked us out there and they all went back to the car
they drove her home of course because that's the right thing to do when a girl you don't know all that well decides to disappear at a party, and so her dorm room door shut without any protest
"thanks", katie said
"no problem" said the guy who walked her up, had been sent, whos name was either rick or matt or anything really, she just had no idea
on her bed, the one that wasn't hers, katie sat and looked at the ceiling and wondered why she always did that, made everyone hate her
i do not belong with them
i am so invisible
really, she just wanted to see if anybody would notice
really, she just wanted to see how far it could get
could she slip away completely?
she always hated coming back
nobody ever asked why or what happened
they just accepted and that repulsed her
i am so strange and lonely, she thought
she slept a dreamless wonder
about how the world would someday change and everyone would smile
and then she could perhaps stand to stay in her skin
