When all else fails, laugh maniacally.
Why?
I don’t know.
Why?
Bored?
No. You?
Maybe.
Then, why?
Because I have to.
Why?
To breathe,
to smile,
to live,
to sleep,
to hush the voices,
to feel
normal
But, why?
Why does anyone?
Have we switched roles?
Have we?
You can’t switch roles when you only have one to play.
Why? Don’t you play many roles?
Aren’t we both the same person?
Haven’t we always been?
