In two halves precisely.

NEVER ALONE

put down
laughed
too loud
clown
in the
crowd
circle in
a square
didn't fit
anywhere
put on
game face

erased
self

shallow
pompous

mouth
kept nose

please...please

notice me
name
mistaken
shunned
forsaken
yearned for
home
found a
soul
now have
both
never
alone
closet full
of ghosts
bur...
