“See me. See me for who I am. I am magic. I am human. I am inhuman. See me. I am a boy. I am a girl. I am everything and nothing in between. See me. You do. You see me. You recoil in fear.

I am the sun, and I will burn away the shadows until only light remains. And then you will have no choice but to see”
