They asked what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I thought to myself, Alive
They asked why do I not have long hair like all the other girls.
I thought to myself, Because I feel less like photoshop when I don't look like everyone else
They asked me why am I missing so many days at school.
I thought to myself, It's hard to pull myself out of my bed let alone go to school
They asked me why I tried to kill myself.
I thought to myself, Because I can't remember a time when I didn't feel dead
They asked me why I never spoke.
I thought to myself, Why does every silence have to be filled
They asked my mother why she didn't see the signs.
And she thought to herself, Did anyone?
