Butterfly Colors

Girl who cried...Goose?

You look in the Mirror.

A fine reflection of you.

You. Yes, you.

Not the person you want to be.

You

Ugly little you.

You Stare, As you remember your past selves.

Your imaginary selves.

You try on different lives. As if they were hats, or a nice crocheted sweater.

But these lives.. much like that sweater are So fragile

So easily caught on a loose nail, or doorknob.

They unravel and unravel, the carefully woven strings now falling apart until you're left naked in the streets.

Staring at your bare body, Feeling the shame of the shape of yourself as you revert back to reality.

As you stare at the now shattered mirror, and your broken fist

You remember your pain.

You remember you're real.

You remember that, soon enough, you'll have to deal with life once more.

And you start to cry.

Lances POV

"Kiki!!!" I yelled, Trying to get her attention. "Kiki, Whats wrong??!"

The girl just kept running until She got to a door. She opened it and ran inside, I continued to follow her. The door said it was her room.

"Kiki, Please..."

She stopped running. She looked over to me. "A...are you mad at me...?"

"What? No, Of course not! I'm just a little bit... Confused. That's all." I said gently, kneeling down to her height.

Kiki was shaking. "But... I hurted her..."

"I know... And that was bad. But we don't hate you, Kiki." I said, gently. She sat down.

I looked around the room, and my heart immediately sank.

There was absolutely nothing in the room. No desk, No bed, Nothing...

"Is... This your room?" I asked. She looked at me sadly. "i don't know..."

"It says it is on your door. Why's it so plain? Don't you have anything?" I asked her. She lowered her head down. "I... Have this..."

She went over to the bathroom, which was just like my dorms. Had a sink, Toilet and shower. She took something from underneath the sink cabinet. It was a bear, it was a bit dirty and a little bit ripped. The bear had a bowtie and little sparkles in it's eyes.

"This is Mr. Teddy." She said, holding the bear close to her. "Big brother gave him to me a few days before he left us alone..."

My heart sank. This poor child... She's been through so much, And I don't even know what her home life situation was fully like.

"But... Big brother Michi said that, When he came back, He'd give me and mr teddy more friends! But.. I'm here... And big brother has probably came back, and is worried..."

I smiled. "Your brother sounds like a really nice guy, Kiki."

"People call him scary. They say he look like he could kill them with no Remorse..." She said, hugging the bear. "But.. t-that's not true! He only hurt animals! Big, mean animals! Like.. like bears! Deer, And Foxes! Brother taught me how to skin a rabbit!"
