Conversations with Myself

People think I'm crazy
for talking to myself.
They say that it's not normal,
that I should get some help.

But I think it's just fine,
to voice out my thoughts;
to plan out the punches
before the battle's fought.

So I don't think it's crazy,
I don't think I'm a hack.
The day I stop talking to myself
is the day a voice comes back.

"Funny how I have better conversations in my head than I do with most people." - unknown author.

I can relate-

[Will]

That's an excellent quote. Thanks, Lou.

[Lou ._.]

Your welcome matie, I should give you a thougher review, but I don't think there's much to say except praise your poetry-skills. *0*

[Will]

Why thank you kindly. You haven't any idea how just that means to me

[Lou ._.]

Your welcome. :)
"May god bless you a long, sick and shameful life." :P

[Will]

If it's long, I'll take it. The other option is being dead.

[Lou ._.]

Nah, you could always become a vampire. And spend millions of dollars on sunscreen. Or become a wraith, and wander the earth, writing your poetry.

[Will]

Wraith is a viable option...

[Lou ._.]

I've always wanted to be rencarnated as a fly. Imagine all the conversations you could hear. Or maybe a carrot. NO! A duck.

[Will]

A pelican ....

Haha, I agree. I mean talking to yourself is just fun, well sometimes unless you're insanely bored and just start counting pigeons to yourself, then yeah it's pretty '~' I did that once.... my sis just had this 'throw her to the pigeon family' look... scary stuff.... anyway before I ramble on I love the slight humour in your poem and the sort of clever play it has on your poem. Great job :) :) :)

[Will]

Haha. It's definitely ok to a certain point. Thank you so much, Cerulean.

[Cerulean]

Yes, yes it is :)

Oh, you don't have to be formal with me by the way :)

[Will]

Alright good, I'm always formal either until i get sick of it or the other person tells me otherwise.

[Cerulean]

Haha, oh wow I'm actually seriously impressed with my awe-inspiring mind reading skills! :D And noooooooooooooo it was not a lucky guess...... :D :D

[Mary Christabel George]

Yes...
We need to communicate with ourselves.
That sometimes becomes self-counselling & a healing process too.

[Will]

Precisely my point. Thanks for reading, Mary.

Lots of regular people talk to themselves. It's when they talk about flying saucers controlling there thoughts is when you have to worry.

[Will]

I met a guy like that once... he got arrested a few weeks ago. just goes to show...

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! Yes, those voices... We all have them. This one is great, Will!

[Will]

I call mine "Paco" ;) thanks for reading, Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Strange, that's our neighbor's cat's name... ;)

[Will]
