   She hears the bangs of the bathroom stalls.

   The giggles of girls when their friends make jokes.

   She hears the kicking of footballs between boys.

   She hears the loud banging from the cafeteria.

   She hears everything.

   The cries of her mother.

   The destruction of her brother.

   The pain of herself.

   She hears everything.

   But all she wants to hear is,

   Silence.
