Made Up People

I know that they're not really there.

But if they make me happy.

And cause you no harm,

Then why should you take them away from me.

I do not see why I am hurting you.

But you seem to be hurting me.

You're pushing me.

Pushing me to do what I don't want to do.

Can't you let me keep on talking

To the people in my head?

For if you take away their lives

I will surely be dead.
