What will I become? Because I won't be me any longer. That will be a relief. I dont want to be the helpless person I've always been.

I got singled out. I don't know why. Why do people always target me? Is it because I'm short and they figure I can't fight back? They're right, I can't, but it's not because I'm vertically challenged.

At times like this, I'm thankful I don't feel love.

Is that all I am? A friend? Of course not, I say. I love you. Am I the only one? she asks. Yes. Completely. First, last, and always.
