a Sketch, against Dohi Moon

There is a little girl who has ten-year-old mental age but who has 28-year-old physical age. She is slowly realizing that everything simply discomfited her. She starts crying a lot during walking, eating, watching, even during sleeping. She wants to shout all the time, but she doesn’t know where to shout. She is running away, even though she knows there is no place to settle down. She is confused whether yes is yes, and no is no. She is feeling home when she is with either grotesque noise or silence. But she always knows, when she is threatened, she is fighting with people instead of crying in front of people and instead of running away from them. Then, she will cry when it’s over. It is how she lives.
