Eponine

My name is Jense.
I have this favorite hat of mine. I also have a favorite coat.
They remind me of the character Eponine.
Sometimes, I like to wear them together and pretend that I'm her.
I am walking along the streets of Paris during the French Revolutionary War. I am cold. I am poor. I have nothing. I am in love with Marius. But, he loves another.
I sing of love and of heartache. Of being alone.
I am in a completely different world.
It's nice sometimes. To be in a different world. To be someone else. To forget about life for a while. To forget about my struggles and heartaches.
I feel free.
Then, I realize, that I'm no different from her.
And then I become Jensen again.
