the girl

pretty brown girl with so much doubt so much insecurity and so many questions that answers wouldn't even be able to fix 

she missed being young where decisions were picked for her and the only time she cried was when she got period cramps 

that was a lie though the time that she could be a kid she was being a mom a protector and mostly everybody else's shoulder to cry on

pretty brown girl with so much rage confusion and so many lies that not even she could remember was starting to come to an end 

It was now 5 years later, she hadn't accomplished a thing nor saw majority of what everyone else just this dark whole 

that maybe she could fill with a void or with actual healing
