Hello there. Please listen to me before they take me away. I’m not like the others around me, I don’t have a strongest soul. I should explain what I’m talking about so you understand. You see, when a human is born it’s the result of multiple souls coming together and forming the human. Most of the time there is a strongest soul. This is the one that you are, unless you’re like me. Normal people have one soul that is them but sometimes the other souls like to appear. Listen, I’m not crazy. You gotta believe me, please. In most people the other souls appear in different ways. I’ve been told that they like to come out at night, they are the reason you dream. They tell you about the life you would have lived if they were the strongest soul. When you start doing something or talking and suddenly forget what you were saying or doing, that’s the weak souls. They had a strong moment and started to be you but then your soul, the strongest one, takes control again.
There are people who think they know what is wrong with me, they said I’m schizophrenic. I’m not though. My souls just can’t find the strongest one. You see, when I was born my souls were still fighting. To this day they still are fighting for control. There are times when I can hear them fighting. Sometimes I even see them. Gosh, it’s scary. My souls are still fighting and they are trying to take me away. These “doctors” think they can help me. They can’t help me. I was supposed to have a twin. My twin didn’t make it through the pregnancy. This is why I don’t have a strongest soul. The soul of my twin that was the strongest and my strongest both came to my body. Now the souls are of equal strength and every day they fight.
You see when the other soul found out my twin wasn't going to make it then it came to my body. Now my soul and the soul of my twin constantly battle to win my body. Do you get it? Please try to understand. I know this may be confusing but you need to understand to help me. I need them to understand me.
They are coming to take me away now. They want to put me in a hospital. They don’t think I’m safe, they think I’m crazy. Please tell them that I’m not crazy. Listen to me and believe what I told you. You can convince them that I’m not crazy. My souls just need to learn to work together. Please help me.
