A Dark Theater waits for me as I enter.
What lies in wait for me behind these doors?
A ghost? A nightmare? Emptiness?
I sit in a dark theater, alone in a red velvet seat, waiting for the people who will never come
What purpose do I have in this world?
I am a little girl who's afraid of the dark and the monsters in her closet
Afraid of the change that has come over her friend
Afraid of the lonliness she feels when she turns off the lights and tells lies to her stuffed animals
Afraid of the desertation that comes when she leaves the life she knew
Afraid of the helplessness she feels when he confronts her and tries to charm her with his smile
It will get better she hears
Everything will be ok
She is me and I am her
We are one
A little girl in a dark theater who watches the light dance across the stage
A stranger to this space
To this cosmos
To this theater
A Dark Theater awaits me as I enter.
