Summary: Clark contemplates life.
I am alone.
People don't know who I am, or what I am. I don't even know who or what I am. Not for sure. I can't remember my past, I barely know the present and I have little idea of what the future will bring for me.
Would my friends still be my friends if they knew? I'm not sure they all would. Do they have the right to know? Probably. Am I going to tell them? Hell, no.
I just don't want people to look at me differently. And they would if they knew. They wouldn't be able not to. People don't like differences and change. They like normality and consistency. I'm not normal. I'm not even consistent.
I wish I could blend in, like everyone else can. Disappear into the crowd. Fade away. But I can't. I'm needed here. I know I am. However uncertain I am of my destiny, I know this. I will do great things. I feel it in my heart, pumping through my veins and in the soul of my being. I have a reason, a purpose, a responsibility beyond my years.
But it's just who I am. I can't change that. That's something I've learnt, slowly, but surely. No matter how hard you battle, people will see you how they wish. No matter who you are inside. They can see you as kind, friendly, or dishonest. Or unreliable and untrustworthy.
These are the burdens I must carry inside of me. The things I spend so long reflecting on. Things that worry me the most.
The only thing that is certain is, I am alone.
