FoA 2025008 - The Line

 Tune

 

This time i wrote a little story, based on the song and capture the picture.

I stood at the edge, staring at the line stretched out before me. It wasn’t just a boundary; it was the weight of every expectation I had ever carried, every version of myself that others saw and thought I was. A line drawn by their perceptions, their beliefs, the image they had created of me.

The line was never mine. It wasn’t something I had drawn; it was something they placed in front of me, a standard I was meant to meet. But I couldn’t.

I’ve crossed lines before—simple ones, lines I never thought twice about. But this one… this one was different. Every step forward felt like I was moving away from who they thought I was, and with each step, I felt the weight of their expectations pushing harder and harder, trying to pull me back to where I wasn’t.

I wonder now, as I stand here, if I disappointed them. All of them. Every person who thought they knew me, who believed the picture they had created in their minds. The person they expected me to be.

Did I disappoint you?

The question hangs in the air, unspoken but loud enough to fill the silence. I didn’t ask it of anyone, but somehow, it lingers in my mind, like an echo I can’t escape.

I never meant to be different from what they saw. I never meant to break the mold they cast me in. But I don’t know how to stay in a shape that isn’t mine, one that never fit me to begin with.

I didn’t choose to change; I didn’t choose to feel this distance growing between us. But the more I tried to live up to what they wanted, the more I realized I wasn’t living at all. I wasn’t being true to myself.

Now, I stand here, at the edge of this invisible line, wondering if I’ve already crossed it in ways I can’t undo. Did I disappoint everyone who thought they knew me? Maybe the real disappointment wasn’t in them, though. Maybe it was in me, for trying so hard to be what I never was.

I crossed the line because I had to. Because I couldn’t keep pretending, couldn’t keep fitting into a picture that wasn’t mine. But that doesn’t stop the question from rising: Did I disappoint you?

I don’t know the answer. Maybe I did. Maybe I disappointed everyone who ever thought they knew who I was, who had an image of me that I couldn’t live up to. But as I stand here, looking at the line I’ve crossed, I realize that I didn’t disappoint myself. I just became who I always was, in the end.
