Story of a Young Girl
A young girl sits in the apartment, walls peeling, empty beer bottles
her heart empty
venom spewing full force as she jumps on the couch and screams
GO F*** OFF! She doesn’t understand why life is so sh**ty but she tries to pray
through tears and screaming and burning the papers
representing a sacred ritual, burning her hate
burning her past, burning the hatred that lingers, squeezing all love out
It’s just another day on the earth
that something like this happens, silent ways people express their pain
She screams in the air – “God you better make my life better than all the sh*t my family went through”
The walls crumble, her computer cracks and somehow she sees a glowing light
this is where she wants to be – flower beds where she can release all care and sleep
