Paranoid Or Normal

I see you respond to a comment with a like or laugh, mine wasn’t acknowledged

I see you getting together with friends, I wasn’t included

I write texts  that go unanswered and calls never returned. 

I sit In the dark reading books distracting myself from my own thoughts

I wonder if others think these thoughts or if they are mine alone. 

I  wonder silently if I disappeared would anyone notice

I think I could be better but don’t want to try

I look at the ceiling and it has a stopping point

Do I ?
