i exist.
neither denial, nor intimidation, nor ignorance to this fact, nothing, is going to negate my presence. this one cannot be controlled to your liking, adjusted to your temperament, rotated to fit nicely into your fairy-tale.
i have no vindictive cause here. granted, i too am guilty of being pretty much ambivalent and/or oblivious to your existence. until, that is, i am made to hear tales of how you try to force yourself into roles for which you were not assigned. for ten years, i have remained neutral and silent. i have tip-toed, unnoticed, onto the stage to change out the set decorations and adjust the backdrop scenery all in the name of peace. not for the sake of catering to the stage manager, but on the behalf of the child actors. but see, here's the thing...the tiny stars have come to the Union complaining. as the owner, i have no choice but to address these issues.
all symbolism aside- at least for now- please accept that this is in no way a personal attack. The irony in this satire is that i, too, can be a little...dare i say it, overbearing and a bit of a control freak. it should be noted, however, that we only need one character for this role, and it was filled 14 years ago.
perhaps i should blame youth or inexperience as the cause for the boundaries being so blurred. then again, i am at fault for not having said anything until now. but before you sign on next year with their personal manager, the borders should be in clear view. i wouldn't want you to have to assume any responsibilities which are not yours...after all you'll have enough on your plate.
i'll not be degrading, drawing them all out line by line. i'll trust your intellect and instinct as guide enough. and i won't do as you do, holding you up to some impossible standard where mistake or error is never allowed. naturally, there is no thing as perfection. it can't be created or cultured in the lab. the one thing i do ask is, when you have me under your microscope that you record my flaws for yourself/your friends/and family to focus upon, but refrain from sharing your analysis with my children. they'll find them enough on their own.
