Who will I be untrue to today? My body has been at war with itself since I learned how to cry. I will betray myself if only to feed myself a myth.

I live in a body that does not have enough light in it For years, I did not know that I needed to have more light Once, I walked around my city on a dying morning and a decomposing body approached me and asked me why I had no light

— Daniel Borzutzky, from “Let Light Shine Out of Darkness,” The Performance of Becoming Human
