Prose fiction?

It was a dark and stormy night ...
Okay not really, just kidding.
I think I will stick to free verse...

The confusion that lasted a life time,
began in but a second.
Two different paths,
two different people and...
two different expectations.
He was expected to please both,
each with their own way
and each way in conflict with each other.
The beginning of schizophrenia?
No the beginning of confusion
and fear
and feeling worthless.


continued throughout his life...

So easy to get conflicting messages, especially in childhood. But at some point we can arise above the expectations of others.

It's impossible to compose a second line as good as that first one.
