when she was a sophomore,
things were looking up.
her days were spent laughing,
with her very best friends,
and acting silly,
where ever she was.
she spent all her time,
taking pictures,
so she wouldn't forget,
the things that made her smile.
and she watched her daddy,
as he come home from work,
and kissed her mom in the kitchen,
and they cooked dinner together,
and ate as a family once again.
and she told her parents about her day,
not leaving out a single detail.
and when she was excused,
she would help her mom with the dishes,
and they would laugh together.
and when she was finished,
she would find something fun to do,
and laugh until her stomach hurt.
and she would say "goodnight" to her parents,
and finish all her homework,
and she would fall asleep,
thinking of her dreams,
and things were looking up.
