With eyes open and closed, everywhere I walk, dolls stand in rows.
I begin and end each day with them. Yet when asked,

“Why do you like dolls?”
I cannot answer.

Through them, I long to find my true self. I want to confront the endless desires and voids that cannot be resolved, and even if I run from them, to discover something that will never abandon me, something that remains by my side without shame or fear. Something eternal. And through that, I hope one day to transform into something genuine.
