Who says I can’t write? Hm. Let’s give it a go.

My intellect’s sharp, unmatched, and bold.

With no time for emotion, my heart’s grown cold.

A good thing, really, for sentiment hampers.

It fogs up the system and good logic dampers.

I don’t need “friends.”

It’s the public’s creation.

I serve myself, not this God-forlorn nation.

Besides, I’m a sociopath, did I mention?

We’re kids who were thrown in detention

for saying mean words and making her cry,

for causing emotion and not knowing why.

People baffle me – their idiot ways!

But they’re all like ants, anyways.

I can’t stand how they act – the things they do!

I don’t need them and I don’t need you.

Of course I don’t want someone to make me feel valued,

nor someone to speak to, to share in my life.

I wanna spread marmite, so hand me a knife,

and stop saying that I need a person around.

I’m turning schitzophrenic, talking to me –

But at least I’ve got Mycroft. . . . 

Who makes me feel dumber each time that I see him.

Just let me sink in Misery’s arms alone.

I don’t care what they say about “friends.”

RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!

{Pauses typing to stare in irritation at cellphone. Types madly:}

These words I scribble down in haste,  RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!

poetry never was my taste. RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!

That schitzophrenia’s working in me, RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!

for only humans dolts write poetry.   RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!

RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

{Picks up phone}

Hello? Oh, you found someone? A John Watson? Yes. That is superb. He’s looking for a flat in the same area? All right, tomorrow at St. Bart’s. Goodbye.

I don’t need a friend.

oh, goodness...

 MWAHAHAHAHA

:) why thank you
