MINIFIC LIGHTNING ROUND

Beep.

I just wanted to make people feel better.

Beep.

What happened to it?

Beep.

All that innocent laughter we once shared?

Beep.

What happened to loving everyone?

Beep.

Why?

Beep.

I was supposed to bring joy.

Beep.

I was supposed to make people smile.

Beep.

Now all I’ve left behind is a legacy of disappointment.

Beep.

A child of pain.

Beep.

Why are we all so bitter?

Beep.

So quick to get ourselves worked up?

Beep.

Did I want to change?

Beep.

No, because I’m unique and I shouldn’t have to be

ashamed of that.

Beep.

But I accepted change.

Beep.

They made me into something I’m not, and I went along with it because I know a single truth.

Beep.

I’m not important.

Beep.

So why?

Beep.

Who were we protecting?

Beep.

Why was this so important?

Beep.

So maybe they’re just in it for the money.

Beep.

Maybe they’re just trying to protect themselves by doing this.

Beep.

But how can we know for sure?

Beep.

Is it fair to say they couldn’t have a good

reason?

Beep.

Is not hurting someone worth not doing something?

Beep.

Is fear of offense, or fear of someone being hurt, worth the price of silence?

Beep.

I don’t know.

Beep.

But was I worth it?

Beep.

Maybe we can tell them why we don’t agree with their decision, but was this crusade so worth fighting in the end?

Beep.

Why did my name have to become joined with such anger?

Beep.

With such venom and hatred?

Beep.

I

didn’t want that.

Beep.

I didn’t want that at all.

Beep.

And what did we gain by fighting for me?

Beep.

Did getting angry do anything?

Beep.

Did making a fuss over someone as unimportant as me prove anything?

Beep.

Or did it just

attach something to me?

Beep.

A bitter tumor of sorrow and pain, that I

now can never be rid of?

Beep.

So why?

Beep.

Why did this have to happen?

Beep.

Why did this have to be an issue?

Beep.

Why couldn’t we have let it go when it should have been let go?

Beep.

They didn’t

want to see someone hurt.

Beep.

I didn’t want to see someone hurt.

Beep.

None of you wanted to see anyone hurt.

Beep.

And yet, all this brought was more anger into the world.

Beep.

More hurt.

Beep.

I appreciated the support, and the emotions behind it, but why did this war have to be raged?

Beep.

Why did we need to get ourselves in such an uproar?

Beep.

I’m not even that important.

Beep.

I was never supposed to be.

Beep.

Why are my battles suddenly worth fighting?

Beep.

Why is the world like this?

Beep.

Why can’t we get along?

Beep.

I...

Beep.

I just don’t know what went wrong...

Beeeeeeeeeeeeee...
