Here’s another: it’s a game. My consciousness has a conversation with my conscience and we
try to figure out who’s who. Let’s begin.

I’m not like this.

No. You are.

I’m drowning in quicksand.

Your struggling is self-sabotage.

I’ll make it up to them somehow.

You’re not needed nor wanted.

I’ll use these broken bricks.

You broke them.

They’re building blocks.

Stepping stones.

I’ll craft a bridge.

Crumbling; no escape.

I’m being useful.

You’re manipulative.

Useful.

Selfish.

I’m happy.

You’re insane.

I’m ecstatic.

I’m broken.
