Please listen to “A Rose” by Thomas Newman while reading.

Thank you.

In my head,

I am always welcome.

I hate to be alone.
I am always surrounded.

Who’s there?
I am always known.

Oh, it’s just you.
I am always justified.

Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe.
I am always protected.

It’ll be our little secret.
I am always hidden.

I won’t give you away.
I am always forgiving.

What shall we do together?
I am always persuasive.

Let’s go play!
I am always entertaining.

Can they play too?
I am always hesitant.

I’m so happy with you.
I am always loved.

Hey, where did you go?
I am always elusive.

What happened to my friends?
I am always concealing.

What are these scars?
I am always manipulating.

This isn’t fun anymore...
I am always right.

You’re scaring me...
I am always right.

Is this a dream?
I am always right.

Stop.
I am always right.

STOP IT.
I am always right.

I just want you to go away...
I can’t.

... because I am always “there”.
