I-
Am a manic-pixie dream girl,
Living the life
Of the tortured male hero.

You-
Are the only leading man
Worthy of the role,
Stuck playing the part of Ophelia.

For once, I wish the stereotype were real.
For once, I want to not gender-bend the cast.

For once,

I do not want to be the main character of my story.
Story Ophelia manicpixiedreamgirl love confusion regret anger sadness loss grief
