oblivious to the children

scotchtapeprincess

artificial vitality keeps us up

clock has no room no more

soiled skin

waxy hair

blue under eyes

piles of (text)books

unused showers

stained pair of jeans

prescriptions spurned

sheets unmade

cans on counters

silver sharps hidden

food is an afterthought

laughs are limited

motivation [error]

time [error]

sleep [error]

we are crying

we are shouting

hear us?

hitting the windows

waving our arms

see us?
