Insane,just how I hurt

Distance to call my own. A need
to be free of all restraints. Loving
just me for a moment.
      Talking to my invisible friend
just the other day. Hearing all she
had to say. Wondering how I am
perceived. Roaming the world with
an open mind.
      So many say so lost she is.
Terrible how they react. Why
must I only be contained. They
note – seek her a padded shelter.
      Working alone and hard. To
be elsewhere in the world of possibilities.
Creating words of meaning.
       Crazy. Tampered with. Tainted.
Condemned. They have no right to
label me. I soar when I need to.
I sink if it is necessary.
       Sometimes, just once, I cut
to watch the red lights glow. To
see the emptiness leak out. She
needs to breathe.
       To be above all for the visions
to be available.
