Off
to
School
When
I
was
younger
I
just
wanted
to
make
others
smile.
But
it
never
happened.
just
like
Santa
never
delivered
presents,
my
laughter
was
a
myth.
Humming
the
same
show
tunes
outside
of
a
local
theater
hoping
to
be
pulled
on
stage.
The
spot
light
clicked
off
when
I
looked
up.
Standing
in
the
dark.
Alone.
