self: defeated. pt1

can you hear that? Silence.
only the sound...from my heart screaming.
can you hear that? can't make it out.
no one even really cares. so why should i even bother, either?
i mean, i'm just gonna sit here...
what?
There's something to be said for quiet.
what did you say? Aw, i just need to be alone.
Okay. alone is where i'll be if you need me.
Yeah, that's what i need.
can you hear that? not a soul.
it's peaceful here. i gotta write that down.
it's peaceful here. there.
wait a minute. where is everybody?
just what i needed. is that okay with you?
Oh, i'm fine with that.
i think i'm lost.
i'm sorry, can you repeat that?
i said, "i think i'm lost."
Just what i needed.
it's my thoughts that are screaming.
where is everybody?
But it's peaceful here.
sounds like water.
wait a minute. let me start that again.
can you hear that? Silence.
only the sound of my heart bleeding. I meant beating.
Not a soul.
let me write that down. Not a soul. There.
But alone is what i need.
i think i lost the water. it was--it was here just a second ago.
it's peaceful here. that's right.
hello? Not a soul.
alone is where i'll be if you need me.
But no one seems to need.
People must not care for a soul that's bleeding.
But i was just gone for a moment.
I mean, it's peaceful here.
That's right.
Now it's my thoughts that are screaming.
I think i lost the water.
Silence. That's not right.
but what do i hear?
People must not care for a soul that's bleeding.
Not a soul cares for me.
I think i need people.
My soul is screaming.
Can you say that again?
*phone rings* *hesitant reaction*
Hello?

People are what i need...
