Tainted surface,
Wearing the mark of a thousand set futures.
Letters carved,
Numbers printed,
Fingerprints.

The only taintedly-pure which witnessed my demise.
Subtle, yet sure.
Tens of years,
Maybe 20.
My mother,
Her mother.

Witness to jealousy,envy,hate,
Love, joy, happiness.
Witness to a little girl,
Stuck in her world of confusion.

Witness to a little girl,
Stuck in her world,
Changing her future.

Witness to a little girl,
Stuck in her world,
Writing a poem on the whiteboard,
Of the whiteboard.
