STORY STARTER
Your protagonist has grown up with firmly ingrained beliefs. When they move abroad for a year, they are faced with situations that force them to confront these ideals.
Focus on the character's identity and how this develops throughout the course of their adventure.
Still, I Am
What am I, if not these terms outlined
Who am I, if I should be undefined
All I know, is what they told me
All I see, is what I tell myself
My words now sound like theirs
But in this place no one cares
To be here, is not to be there
Confirmed were facts untrue
Though deeply held
Thee, I knew not well
Yet to part ways I fear
I cannot bear it
When truth calls
And the mask falls
Away I shied from its revelation
Too jarring its proclamation
At first,
But a gift, not a curse
Time after time, at my hearth
Until clarity made free my earth
