"
you
take
everything
to_heart
,"
he
used
to
say
. "
do
you
want
us
to
keep
you
in
a
soundproof
glass
room
where
no
one
can
reach
you
so
your
little
baby
feelings
won't
get
hurt
?"
i
never
said
anything
back
.
you
don't
belch
into
the
mouth
of
a
beast
that's
built
to
chew
you
up
and
shit
you
out
a
lesser
version
of
yourself
.
but
if
i
could
step
back
into
my
twelve-year-old
body
,
i
would
say
:
yes
.
that's
exactly
what
i
want
.
give
me
a
world
without
noise
, bereft
of
all
the
witless warriors
who
wield
it
with
the
hope
of
wounding
me
,
and
i
will
live
and
die
a
happy
boy
.
