THE LIFE OF A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL

The lights go out

and her eyes brighten.

The tears stream down

and the mascara dies.


The blade is sharp

as she stretches towards it.

He hand trembles

shaking as she gets closer.


One cut, then two,

three, then four.

Another two, her eyes close,

one for a better life.


The lights come one

as she hides her face.

The blade is on the floor

and so is her blood.


The mask is back

and her face is clear.

the answer to her question is nowhere near.
