A poem that speaks about a mentally ill person who gets teased.
Mentally ill, I'm far from existence.
Don't know it, don't want to.

I'm better off than they, the teasers.
I know just what I can.
But they can't know enough.

Why do you strive to hurt?
What do you gain?
An insight into my soul?

Why do you weary yourself?
What do you seek?
For I am as empty as you.

But go ahead if you must.
Trouble yourself to no end.

I'm far from my existence.
Looking down, all I see is your fear.
