A Much Smaller Version

And at night, when everyone is asleep


I am still wide awake


Sometimes, I feel like the same girl I was before

Except there's no cupcake wrappers in my bed this time.


No empty pizza boxes or soda cans


It's just me under the comforter.

At night, when everyone is asleep


I am still wide awake


Thinking of all the ways I am alone.

And I wish I had some cupcakes right now.


Or some pizza, or some soda.


But it's just me under the comforter.

A much smaller version of me.
