Summary
By the age of eight the pain beneath her ribs is constant; a reminder of their disappointment, of rules broken and expectations not met.
It becomes a part of her, held tenderly like a bird with clipped wings, something to nurse instead of fear; a sign of her existing as more than just a puppet.
The shimmering ocean of lights remains too, weaving itself through the air around her. She's learned the melody of its call, composed a song of her own as a response, something intrinsically hers — or perhaps theirs. She learns to find comfort in the way it shines brighter with every act of defiance, every decision she makes to fight back against those terms and conditions, even though she wants…
She wants to be held when she's sad. She wants to be comforted when she's hurt. She wants to feel like she matters. She wants to be loved.
Loved without rules, without threats, without surrendering everything she is and thinks and feels.
She wants so much it hurts.
