have you ever seen a ghost?
i think that one time, i actually did.
i had just swallowed a few pills
and there she was.
sitting on my dresser, quite curiously.
she told me that i shouldn't be doing that, i'm just a sweet kid. too young.
she told me that the mother we shared was not a mother at all and she didn't want me to be end up like herself,
cold and on the floor after an overdose.
i said, "i was supposed to look up to you."
and you know what she told me?
she said "sis, the pain doesn't stop, and no amount of pills can fix the glass in your ears. you must learn to cover them instead. you can't be so sensitive when it comes to her."
i kicked my dresser and told her to get the **** out.
