“I close my eyes and I can see a better day. I close my eyes and pray”
“Am I Carrie, now? I sway with the movement of the elevator. I close my eyes and try to think. I could never be Carrie. No one can. That’s the thing. Always. I could never be Carrie. I could never be Carrie. I could never be Carrie. I can feel the tears sting behind my eyes. I can never be Carrie. Now, I can’t even be Ellie.”
“I was born with these eyes. I was born for this life.”
“Happy the eyes that can close”
“I close my eyes, hoping to slip into the same dream again, but then that never happens, does it?”
