her hair blows in the wind

leaves scatter

mum mutters

and she doesn't understand


who she is

what she is

how she is

why she is

so worthy to live


she cuts her arms

not understanding

anything


but she doesn't know her value

her place in the world

she could have been the best

but alas


years go by and she is almost nothing

wasted, on the streets

one day she takes the weapon out of his hands

and uses it

on

her


she has no idea who she was

she had no idea why

or what

or who
