From a side character:
"I've no character at all, but where does one get character from? Either you have it or you don't. You have. Everyone says you have. Where did you get it? Why don't I have any? Sometimes I think I'm cut out of paper, just acting like a person. They tell me I'm an utter coward. What can I do about that? being an utter coward?"
The main character shrugs and responds:
"Act like you're not."

Truth
Face things head on.
Don't avoid.
Blindness does not make things disappear.
Focus.
Clarity.
Strength.
Don't avoid.

Focus.

Delight
I disappeared today.
With a jolt, I reappeared.
I had forgotten that it happens sometimes.
I am glad that I can still do so, even now.

Poetry that speaks
“The puppet thinks:
It’s not so much
what they make me do
as their hands inside me."

Fool that I am
That blue skies and sunny days could be so pretty.
This is what I must do:
Fill my heart so many lovely things, plans for the future, reminders of laughter and friendship - that there might be no room for regret or envy or dark things.
It is a form of God hunting, I suppose.
God, where are you?
Prayers that wing up to the heavens.
Is this, then, a prayer?
