Ladies and gentlemen
And people who do not conform
To the gender binary,
Welcome!
We have a wonderful show
For you today
Come and witness the spectacular
Performance of Rylie’s heart!
Watch as the heart does what many
Hearts have tried but failed
To do before
Do not attempt this without a lot
Of practice
First, we will bring out
A tiger for her to play with
The tiger is getting aggressive
And swipes at her
scratching the poor heart
But the heart says
“I forgive you”
As the tiger saunters away
Next, we bring in a self pitying
Narcissistic bearded lady
Who has bruised this heart for years
Filling it with bitterness
But acts innocent as can be
The heart has every right
To hate this bearded lady
But the heart declares
“I forgive you”
And the narcissist struts away
Coming up, he was hard to get here
but with us today we have a mime!
He started his miming career
while he was supposed
to be protecting Rylie’s heart
Unfortunately, he seemed to have forgotten
That when he took his oath of silence
When he walks up to her heart
He pretends there is wall in front
Of him and he does not look at her
But the heart looks down and whispers
“I forgive you”
He pretends to pull a rope while he walks off stage
Our final guest is an amazing juggler!
Watch and be mesmerized by his speed
Watch how many balls he can juggle
Watch him lose control and drop them
Watch him glare at the heart
As if it is her fault
As if he knocked them out of his hands
His face softens and he eyes do too
Rylie’s heart reassures him
“I forgive you”
The juggler nods and slowly walks away
What a show! What a performance!
Give it up for Rylie’s heart!
We watched as the heart went
Through such ache and sorrow
And yet is still standing here
And offering forgiveness to people
who may not even deserve it
Or want it for that matter
Such bravery! Such courage!
Thank you for coming to our show
Please pick up your candy wrappers
And tissues on your way out
