School,
what grade do you have?
Mom, I'm tired,
"Go to sleep sweetie,"
But I'm not tired.
Why do I stay up so late?
It's all worth it in the end,
or is it even worth it at all.
I am new to this world,
only been here five years.
Curious as to why Mama's always in tears?
16,
Flawless.

Volunteer at Hospital,

Big Girl,
Flawless.
You saw me lying on the floor,
Desperate to fix my broken heart.
I was the un-fixable case, the tragic downfall.
But you didn't see me as broken, you saw me as beautiful.
