Dialogue
I have this superpower
It's more like a curse
I can hold conversations with people in my head
But I can't do that in real life
It's why I avoid people
If there's no one there
I don't have to struggle to talk to anyone
I don't have to constantly look at my word count
And worry if I'm reaching my word limit
I know I shouldn't do that
But I'm an over thinker
I worry that I'll sound stupid
Or people will look at me weird for the topics I'm passionate about
"Did my joke fall flat?"
"Should I say something?"
"Should I know this? Why don't I know this?"
So I stay silent
In a world filled with noise, I alone stay silent
That is my fatal flaw
My own mind.
