What does it mean to be a person? Normal and unforgiving, standing by a faulty saying, looking for reprieve. Can the television glow on its own, or only when you turn it on? Must it be given prompting, must I be given prompting to find the truth behind it all? Sometimes the power switch is off but the electrical appliances still run. Is that a sign of brokenness? Is that a sign? What does it mean to be normal? What does it mean to be abiding? What does it mean to conform to the likings of society? What does it mean to act and look the same as everyone else? What does it mean to act and look like yourself? If the mirror is so cursed, if the windows are all curtained, if the light is an all-consuming void then why do they feel beckoned towards it?

To the someone behind the letter,
What does it mean to be a person? Normal and unforgiving, standing by a faulty saying, looking for reprieve. Can the television glow on its own, or only when you turn it on? Must it be given prompting, must I be given prompting to find the truth behind it all? Sometimes the power switch is off but the electrical appliances still run. Is that a sign of brokenness? Is that a sign? What does it mean to be normal? What does it mean to be abiding? What does it mean to conform to the likings of society? What does it mean to act and look the same as everyone else? What does it mean to act and look like yourself? If the mirror is so cursed, if the windows are all curtained, if the light is an all-consuming void then why do they feel beckoned towards it?
