One day
on a random saturday night
a girl name Annalise Mayors was born
in a ratty old hospital
to a mother who didn’t
love her
to a father
who wanted nothing
more than to hurt her
But still
her mother had a heart
and put her
into a stranger’s arm
before she could be hurt
because
being hurt as a child
can scar you
and her mother knew
this
but didn’t know
that leaving her daughter
behind would
scar both Annalise
and her mother
more than
being abused
could ever do.
