constant talking in my head

I am constantly talking and daydreaming, but when I do it I'm not myself I make new people that share my personality but would be rich or something else. my sister thinks I'm crazy and I cant stop doing it. I basically live my life through other peoples eyes almost like they can watch what I'm doing. I have done this for as long as I can remember. mostly when this happens ill be home alone and will walk in circles for hours. Is this normal or am I crazy?

In the eyes of some I am a freak.  Some call me gifted.  I wrote this poem about me and I really like it:

They Say

They tell me stop working live for the day
They make it sound easy here's what they say
They say I'm an addict for coping with pills
They say I'm escaping the way that I feel
They say I'm ****** up because my parents were mean
They say I'm suicidal from the trauma I've seen
They say I'm an artist for the poems I write
They say that I'm gifted, perhaps they are right
They say I'm spiritual the people I've touched
They say I'm heartless the women I've loved
They say I'm challenging the doctors I see
They say I'm like jello being nailed to a tree
They say I'm bipolar with a complex brain
They say I'm codependent I'm going insane
So try on my shoes let's see how you cope
If you don't kill yourself perhaps there is hope

I won't say you are crazy.  I can say you are in the right place.  It is normal behavior to me.  I used to do that a lot before I stopped living in that world.  I think it is great that you have this imagination an it could pay off for you eventually.  Does any of it really bother you?  What else is going on?
