Oh God just look at me now.. one night opens words and utters pain.. I cannot begin to explain to you.. this.. I am not here. This is not happening. Oh wait, it is, isn't it? I am a ghost. I am not here, not really. You see skin and cuts and frailty..these are symptoms, you known, of a ghost. An unclear image with unclear thoughts whispering vague things.. If I told you what was really in my head, you''d never let me leave this place. And I have no desire to spend time in hell while I'm still, in theory, alive. Emily Andrews
About This Quote

In this quote, the speaker describes how she feels. She is confused and unclear about her own state. She describes it as an unclear image and thoughts. Her understanding of herself is the opposite of what the world sees and hears.

She thinks she is a ghost while everyone else thinks she is alive. The speaker does not like to live in a world where she has no control and cannot be herself. It is a very sad and lonely place to be in; however, there are parts of this world that we all go through when we are different from other people.

This quote shows that our minds can be our own worst enemy at times, leading us to live in a world that we do not want to live in.
