Thank you everybody for you critique. It seems there is confusion as to what this poem means. It was all about the anxiety and paranoia I experience often. Every piece of this occurs withing the parameters of my mind. Every piece except the dr. pepper part that is.. The silent conversation is me in my head creating different scenarios that all turn to you hating me in some way. And the YOU is all-encompassing. No one person, but everyone I come into contact with. It is entirely unrelated and holds almost no significance, only to showcase the irrationality of my fear and embarrassment for events years ago that only I remember and was most likely forgotten by everyone else minutes after it happened (and it happened closer to 10 years ago). I separated the brain and mind to highlight the differences between our logical brains and the sub-conscience personality we call "the mind". THEY is once again not specific but general and applies to everyone other than myself. The last two lines "...my time is done...you have a few minutes" is telling you about my constant mood swings from being diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder.
I hope this explanation helps some of you better understand what I was trying to say. I usually only write when I am very emotional and the words just come to me. This might be one instance where my thoughts didn't transfer well to english. I will posting an edit soon.
