Little girl hears them yelling wraps herself up in warm blankets (music can't block this one out) little girl cringes her Mommy's so fragile he's breaking her in half with words little girl is angry clenches her fists grabs her combat boots by the bedroom door she dresses warm puts on a hoodie stitched in memories grabs mittens for her tiny hands little girl grabs her purse looks in her mirror doesn't register who the hell she sees if anyone is even there at all opens her door storms right past her yelling guardians hot tears bloom spill on her cheeks sliding door slams shut bam little girl looks up into icy rain doesn't look back walks down hard gravel friendlier than home and little girl is gone .
