I am an open person. Quick to laugh, a rollicking declaration of my freedom. My freedom, of course, comes from this openness, this ability to connect and shimmy like water over the people-scape. So I never thought, never thought that I would work myself into this corner. This corner where no one would understand, would empathize. There is no one in this world with whom I'm close enough, or distant enough, to share this transgression. So I'll remain alone. In this private pain.
I can't suppress my disgust, rising bile.
