2013-2014


3rd-grade has come and gone.

She sits in her new 4th-grade class as the teacher lectures about prepositions.

The other kids smile and giggle as they understand the new taught thing.

While the little girl tunes them out and stares at her desk for she forgot how to smile.

Genuinely smile. 

All she knows how to hold a blank expressionless expression. 

She's tired of how the world is.

Tired of moving.

Losing friends. 

Never truly having a home. 

She wished the world was better as she stares out of the window in her room. 

She stares at the vibrant green grass and leaves that give off the same warmth and positivity as the sun and sky did above. 

She wished she could be like them, beautiful. 

But, she's tired of trying to be like them. 

Tired of the pain.

Tired of it all.

So she lifts the sharp pencil lead and carves into her left hand over and over again.

Leaving a reminder that she lives in this cruel world.

And that she'll never leave.
