Do you see that seven year old girl over there
yes the one with the blonde hair and bright smile
she hasn't seen her alcoholic mom in a while
she just asked her dad how long do you have to hold your breath to die
and then she tried to do it
Look, now she is 10
she still wears her hair blonde with a bright smile
now she understands what happened more to her mom
she is now fantasizing about running away to her
because she has always liked her more than dad
Now she is 14
and she has blue hair and fakes a smile
she can see her mom again
though, now she understands everything
she realizes how horrible people are
and how her mom was depressed
she dreams about death
but doesn't know why
life is better right?
still, her smile fades when people don't notice
her mom always asks her if she is okay?
She always replies,
" I am fine."
