Black and White
By Lynette Lyon
How can anyone be so self-righteous? I guess that is truly the job of any parent when it comes right down to it. But it's not like I was hurting anyone, except for the occasional bad guy. Hell, I was helping people most of the time.
When the hell did life become so black and white? When did things suddenly become this or that, my way or the highway? Maybe things have always been this way and I never really notice. I could always hide behind one persona or another. Now, suddenly, these two worlds have crashed together and I'm stuck. Stuck with an impossible choice.
The life I love or the family I need. My chosen name or my given one. How can anyone expect that choice to be made in an instant? How the hell can anyone just say "Choose"? But you know if you do choose one life over another, you'll be closing a door that can never be opened again.
Some people say seeing in black and white makes things clearer. But all I see is a blur of gray lines and shapes. All I know is a blur of what was and what is.
Things are never clear when you can only see in black and white.
