Do you ever talk to yourself and wonder,
who you’re talking to?
Like I’m the loneliest person on earth.
I am a talker-back.
Someone who talks back to oneself.
Why?
‘Not sure.
Sometimes, I think of my brain as a friend,
The conversations we have
Like text messages.
It may seem weird.
Or even crazy. But that’s just who I am.
A writer.
A self-
Obsessed freak.
A math nerd.
And a jock.
I’m a mix of all.
Not a replica of one.
I’m Xyla.
Not the everyday girly girl you meet .
Or a typical punk.
I’m the go-between.
The one who wears sneakers with shorts and a tank.
Or boots with jeans and a shirt.
My hair’s the normal
Plain blonde.
Nothing special.
Cut at the shoulders,
Just some hair.
My cheeks aren’t sculpted
To a perfect edge and
My blue eyes
don’t shine like everybody else.
A misty pale blue,
A fog of confusion,
Caving over
A storm of chaos.
Invisible,
Unidentified would be my tag.
The girl who does it all.
How ironic,
the girl who does the most,
Never cared for,
Called,
Congratulated,
for what she’s done.
But,
Who am I to judge,
Sitting
Here as a
Talker-
Back,
with my fudge.
Overview: I’m not sure if this is a story. Actually, I think its like a story condensed to a poem or like one of character’s thoughts in a poem. It’s honestly an image of me. I wrote it last night on my desk and I guess I just poured all my emotions into it. Hope you like it!

I guess sometimes we talk to ourselves cause there is no one better to talk to.

True. But sometimes, I think it’s like I have my own TV show in my head and I’m just talking to my audience. 🙂

Wow, that’s quite an imagination. As a kid, I used to think that I was countinously in a reality show where everything I did was being recorded.

Sometimes, we get too wrapped up in the forms of things we forget that things tend to take a life of its own, so you should just, allow whatever’s coming out from your fingertips come out, and whatever forms, forms…

True. That’s what I love about writing, I start writing something and it automatically becomes a story. Like I think of a specific trait or thing and then I start writing about it and it turns into a complex tale with various themes.
