What do you see in me? Could you ever know the turmoil inside of me that I keep buried inside? What would a single glance tell you? Do you have any idea what I've lost? No one will ever understand. I may very well be the biggest loser in all of mankind.
"So everything is necessary. Every least thing. This is the hard lesson. Nothing can be dispensed with. Nothing despised. Because the seams are hid from us, you see. The joinery. The way in which the world is made. We have no way to know what could be taken away. What omitted. We have no way to tell what might stand and what might fall." -Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

tell me who I am
Someday soon I will know who I am. It's ironic that I need to be told who I am by someone else, but that's just the way it is for me. I have serious doubts about myself. I'm uncertain. I have a heart and mind that are out of sync. I'm divided. I feel like I'm both a hero and the worst of us. A champion and someone of great shame. I shouldn't feel like this.
