when i was born

you saw me as precious

you saw a bright future in my eyes

art at my fingertips

but that bright future

was not so bright

future me is disappointing

isn't she?

she's not your pretty little girl anymore

she's never felt loved

and she's always felt alone

and instead of smiling up at you

with wide eyes

like that child would have

she looks down at her toes

her body scarred and self-abused

and asks "can you help me?"
