A girl sits in a room

A laptop in front of her

Her fingers hover over the keys

The light shines through her glasses

Which are smudged from the long day

The tears brim at her eyes

Blinking them away

Trying not to crumble

Trying to stay on track

 

A girl is touched on the arm by her grandmother

She flinches away

Her arm tingles where she is touched

"What is wrong with you?"

Lingers in the air

"You are crazy, 

you are not normal,

there is something wrong with your head"

She stands and walks away

She walks to the stairs and cries

 

What is wrong with the girl on the stairs

With the bleeding mind

And the stuttering heart

And the twisting stomach
