I remember when I was little,
I would throw
a penny into the water fountain.
I'd flip the coin,
and make a wish.
I would wish
for toys
or candy
or items.
but now
as I stand at the
same wishing,
water fountain,
I flip my penny
and instead
wish to be saved
from all this torture.
just one day.
I wish for them to stop.
I wish for me to get better.
I wish to be protected.
I wish to be happy.
one day it'll all be better,
I tell myself.
one day.
