Conversation With Myself

-What do you really want?
        I've told you, I don't know!
-But you do, don't lie to me!
        No, I promise, I don't
-What are your dreams made of?
-Can you answer that at least?
       Marshmellow, cats, and poetry,
       Paperclips, the ocean, and peace.
-Why can't you answer me seriously?
       Why must you always ask the question why?
-Becuase I need to know, you know?
       But I'd much rather lie.
-Come on, please just talk to me!
       Can you imagine how this looks to them all?
-Whatever do you mean my dear?
       ...Talking to myself against this wall...
-No one is even watching you!
       But someone is bound to see
-Just shut up a minute and answer my questions.
       No, I don't feel like talking to me.
