What if
I lie awake wondering maybe just maybe
the ghost in my room knows I am suffering
No one else notices
But maybe he does
Maybe he knows everything I have been through
Maybe he has put the knife just out reach
He knows my mind and my mind is dark
It is filled with sad and depressing thoughts
Oh, but he
He knows
What it is like to go unoticed, not cared for
He knows neglect
And maybe he has been helping
But who really knows
Are their ghosts, spirits, angels, or devils
Is there an afterlife
Maybe I want to believe he’s here to help
But what if they were right
As I am sitting in my hospital bed maybe they were right
Maybe I am crazy and just hallucinating
But what if I am not
What if
