"So come with me
where dreams are born
and time is never planned"
often called the loss of innocence
or a coming-of-age tale
a set structure of safety to reality
or stability to instability
with named antagonists, protagonists
an ending wherein the dust settles
A Satisfying Conclusion,
through lessons and growth

How does one rectify a disruption of The Structure?
Stories of the unnamed antagonist
not seen - but experienced
Where one's own skin becomes a prison
or a memory palace, brought to life
by the pain of experience
Not tightly wrapped with a satisfactory bow
Where everything lingers, festers
and lessons will never be enough
Icarus and Daedalus, one in the same
a neverending story of retrospection
a story suspended in act two-
"His childhood was dead or lost
and with it his soul capable of simple joys
and he was drifting amid life
like the barren shell of the moon"
