“Waiting for Vengeance'Well, what is this?What am I coming to?And beyond that, what am I gonna do?Now there’s blanknessWhere once your eyes held the lightBut that was so long agoThat was last nightWell, what was that?What’s that sound that I hear?It’s just my lifetimeIts whistling past my earAnd when I look backEverything seems smaller than lifeThe way it’s been for so longSince last nightNow I’m leavingAny moment I’ll be goneI think you’ll noticeI think you’ll wonder what went wrongI’m not choosingBut I’m running out of fightAnd this was decided so long agoIt was last night”

“I’ll carry you over my shoulder if I must, just as I did last night. If I’m forced to do it, however, I cannot guarantee you’ll make it out of this cell with your clothes on. Understand?------It appears I am the one who will notmake it out of here with my clothes on.”

“Dear Mom and Dad,I know you’re only trying to do what’s best for me, but I don’t think anyone knows for sure what’s best. I love you and don’t want to be a problem, so I’ve decided to go away. I know you’ll say I’m not a problem, but I know I am. If you want to know why I’m doing this, you should ask Dr. Luce, who is a big liar! I am not a girl. I’m a boy. That’s what I found out today. So I’m going where no one knows me. Everyone in Grosse Pointe will talk when they find out. Sorry I took your money, Dad, but I promise to pay you back someday, with interest.Please don’t worry about me. I will be ALL RIGHT!Despite it’s contents, I signed this declaration to my parents: “Callie.” It was the last time I was ever their daughter.”

“I laid myself fucking bare last night! I put it all out there, and you shut me down. Rightfully so. I get that I shouldn’t have said any of that stuff to you. But now here I am trying to find a way to come out of this with just a little fragment of pride so I can look you in the eye when this is all over, and you won’t even let me have that. You broke my heart last night, all right? Is that what you want to hear?”

“It remains to be seen to which side I'm gonna lean.Which road will I choose, what will I gain, what will I lose?Am I gonna come to my senses and see the lightin letting go of what I want in order to do what's right?Oh but right by whom? By me or by you?It’s just a crossroads. Is the light red or is it green?I’m getting mixed signals, I really don’t know what they mean.If I wasn’t temporarily blind, if I could only take one look I know I’d findhow simple it all is. How much do I really own this?Is enough not enough? Am I really in love? Or is it nothing but a test?Well if you wanna try me go ahead and be my guest.Cos I myself would like to know which way we're to go.I guess it’s undecided yet so I’ll take it slow,but as I regain my sight, I know I will do what’s right.Indeed it’s just a crossroads. Now that I’m willing to clearly seethings for what they really are and not what I’d like them to be.There’s nothing left to think about. I know the way now, I’ve no more doubt.I let go and release. You do the same for me, please.”
