Lonely People

Look at all the lonely people, Paul McCartney wrote. I thought about their plight, through the sadness in his throat. A light switched on before me, as I trundled to my room. I got an idea too, which helped remove the gloom. Schizophrenia! - I shouted. To no one who was there. We’ll give them lots of happy people, inside their heads to share. No more lonely people, and I'm feeling very excited. There’s a party in my head tonight, and everyone’s invited.

Wish I were schizophrenic. Sounds like fun. Seem better, though, to make it personal, not pitting it inside their heads, but talk about how it is inside the head of a schizophrenic.

Schizo life gets old when your pals reflect the split persona which is you, yourself, twisted and torn in the delusion of "them".

But anyway, you gave me a few giggles, so have a seven.

There's a party in my pants tonight,
and everyone's invited.
I hope your all excited?
