The time comes, the figure enters in on the leftmost side. The curtain up, the lights focused below. A childhood not so different from most; learning shame and pride, trying to find a place in a world so wide. Then confusion, angry prayers, and the wish to be another. Disappointment both from others and yourself. “If you love me as much as you say you do, help.”

A decision then, to believe at all cost, the only thing that won’t make me feel lost.
