if i told you every thought that went through my mind would you call me crazy? if i disappeared would anyone know? if i was an introvert pretending extrovert would you believe me? if i stumbled in a store would you help me? if i had depression and second thoughts would anyone care? all i know is what ever i do in life i wont stop trying till i die

what passage are you referring to

whatever is after like is what is being compared they are comparing bumping into you like they are scared to catch germs you have and to you being contagious

now im going to write the whole thing of ru bc i feel like u should lern it on ur own but i would choose allan poe bc allan poe was the main character and the author gives more supporting details on the character.
