I had no other option than to walk away...
I am now a theatrical actress and a poet. My hobbies are to dive, to stargaze, to act and to write. I admit my livelihood is not easy, having picked the “path less trodden”, instead of the “noble professional pursuits” encouraged by society. I have to work part-time jobs, endure employment gaps. But mum, I am happy. I have been able to build my own door frames for opportunities to knock, seized them and become someone. Perhaps in hindsight, we are not so different after all.
You turned my obedient flame noxious, belching copious smoke that asphyxiated me as if it were a famished serpent. It never wished to be the big bonfire that flickered in all its glory, blazing under a spell it was sparked into. It would rather consume all that was on its path, as it could appreciate the grey cinders it left behind.
