I will never understand.
Not ever.
I will never understand why everything I put into my body, or onto it, is what defines me.
Oh, wait, no!
I understand.
I understand perfectly.
I can speak, I can yell.
But people will always value their sight more than anything.
ANYTHING!
I am an image of the public.
I am an image of the world.
I must portray myself as part of a unit.
No!
No!
No!
I am the unit.
My body.
My mind.
My heart.
My soul.
My voice.
Everything about me has value.
Value which I give it.
I will never understand.
Wait! Yes!
I understand.
