How Do I Breathe Like This?

Angel

She slams the door close

Tears fall from her eyes

Another bad day

She runs up the stairs

To her room

Crying into her pillow

She gets out if the shower

Her skin is red

"When will I finally be skin enough? Why I am not beautiful like the rest of them?"

As she lays on the roof

She looks up

"Mom I miss you. I wish you were her you would tell me what to do. Dad should be home in a month but it's not the same." She gets up and looks down at the ground. " I'm sorry that I didn't turn into the daughter you wanted"

She takes a step forward and jumps off.

She feels weightless

She hits the ground

Breath is gone

She is gone

She had nobody but her mom

Now they are both together

Happy as they could be
