Her father was a drunk
Yet she,
She tried to stay sane
She never allowed a sip to touch her lips
She smoked
And she wrote
A lot
About everything she'd ever seen in her life
She lived casually
Forgetful
A quiet
Yet spontaneous life
Carefree
And an enigma to those
Who watched her live.
Elizabeth Burns
