The phone chimed then,
My eyes glittered as I saw the names,
Lip curved up to form a smile,
But then he said,
You're a disgrace,
You'll make nothing of life!
The hour hand touched two.
I made sure no one is hearing,
Though I knew,
I was going to cry silently anyway.
My hands started to shake,
Tears streaming down, ruining my face.
'You fucking disgrace!'
I reminded myself what I am.
Stared at the words in the books,
Though I knew I won't be able to concentrate,
I just needed a distraction,
I need to feel alive.
–Sia.
