chapter iii. SiMPLE

simple; (adj.) easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty.

they
said it'd be
easy;
and that
everything
would be
okay.

I'm afraid
I'm not okay,
and
nothing is
easy.

they
told me
to make
a
friend,
and to
socialize;

have
"fun"

but
how
could I have
fun
in the
skin I'm in.

I don't
want
to trust,

is dangerous;

celebrated.

not for
fun.

only
because
I lived
just
a little
longer.

I only came
closer to
my
demise.

today;
louis,

name--

he asked
why;

everyone
else did.

"because
I wanted

a star;

told
me"

"who?"

"everyone;

lied;
because
I am not
bright--
only a
glimmer.

you,
louis?"

"they think
I'm
insane, but
I'm doing
what
they asked;

just
like
you"

and just
for
a while,
just a
little
while;
everything was
fine,
maybe
even simple--

just
a little.
