Dear Josephyne-Rose,

Could you write a happy ending? I just feel like I deserve a happy ending.

Eight years old, and I need a happy ending.

Could you tell me if this bottle is the end of me?

Do I have a happy ending?

Love, Josephyne-Rose

The response...

Dear Josephyne-Rose,

I don't know the ending.

Ten years old and I'm trying to see the end.

It's gotten worse.

If I could talk to you I'd tell you to give up.

Love, Josephyne-Rose

In addition...

Dear Josephyne-Rose,

Your a fool who gives up too easily

Thirteen years old and I know that light can come from the darkness.

Live a bit longer and soon you'll start using semicolons at the end of your poems;

Love, Josephyne-Rose

P.s. I still don't know the end, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore
