There he is. The boy. The one you are obsessed with. Right there, down the street, at the store, or at a party. There he is. You fiddle with your fingers, look away, and maybe even feel your knees shake. What to do? 

"Go talk to him." I whisper in your ear. I nudge you gently. You shake your head quickly, saying its no big deal. You say that every time. But I know. I know everything about you, I have been around forever. I try to help you all the time. With everything, but you never listen. You are too afraid. Always too afraid. 

"You'll just get rejected." He whispers, my annoying brother. You look at him and nod. You always agree with him. He always put you down! You have got to listen to me! He just wants to see you crumple, I don't! He holds you back, grabbing your arm and pulling you close. You say you wish you were prettier. That you were skinnier. That you had a cuter personality.

"You do! He would love you!" I nearly scream. You simply say that I'm lying. I'm not a lair, girl. I tell you only truth. 

"Stop lying sister, don't fill her head with lies!" He retorts. You nod in agreement again as we disappear into your room. You begin to cry. I want to cry with you, but you say that I only mock you. How you could be so brave girl! I could give Courage! If you would only listen.
He only fills you with Despair, my cursed brother. 

She enters, your mother. 

"Who are you talking to dear?" she questions. 

"No one mom." You mutter.

"Ok, well make sure you take your medicine tonight. I would hate to have send you back to the hospital." She coed. 

She never sees us. No one sees us, dear child. We are your hopes and fears. But only you treat us like people. Courage and Despair, your demons and dreams. 
So, I was listening to the song "Eyes on Fire" by Blue Foundation and this just hit me. It just made think of a girl with schziophrentia dealing with Courage(the good voice) and Despair(the bad voice.) Really random, and probably really bad, but oh well.
