Realistic Fiction Isn't Real


She sees the world so differently She doesn't understand how people can live in it so easily She doesn't seem she is She looks at everything as a sound but you can't quite hear it, can't quite grasp it But she doesn't want to Because in her locked away look at the world she finds him But reality finally hits her when she realizes, realistic fiction doesn't actually happen There is no coma and come back to life in 6 months There is no surviving a car crash Or having your parents divorce be a tragic It's you're dead, and you're perfectly okay with their split
