She was 16
She was in love
Had her first kiss
Doing good in class
Had amazing friends
Her family was perfect
Had three brothers
Had a sister
Daddy contacted every day
Mother love her dearly
She was an artist
Saw beauty in everything
She was 16.
She was 16
She felt anxious
Lost her best friend
Was slacking in school
Lost her boyfriend
Younger siblings disappeared
Daddy ignored her
Mother was embarrassed
Her art was depressing
She saw only black and grey
She was 16.
She was 16
She cried every night
She slit her wrist
She bruised her thighs
The voices screamed
She couldn't dream
Mother didn't listen
Her siblings didn't care
She was depressed
One night she ran
Not once looking back
Her spirit and soul returned home
Her body did not
She was 16.
