crying
screaming
aching.
tigers wasting space and causing problems.
everyone hates them.
nothing lila does is good enough for you and you wonder why she's always so miserable.
what about Margaret?
she cries herself to sleep each night hating herself more and more, wishing she was a bird that could fly away and find somewhere safe.
Caroline screams at walls and hopes she was someone nicer, prettier, better.
Better.
******* Tigers growling in your head, telling you you're all wrong.
Conor's not here to help you this time.
You're being ridiculous.
paint on a smile and pretend you're okay
it's what they want to see.
they don't hear you speak
they don't care.
Runaway.
