Today

A girl with a whopping total of 1 year more

Life Experience than I

Scoffed

As my shaking voice said

“Sometimes you can't fix things with your parent.”

“Sometimes there is no relationship to improve there.”

“Sometimes those things can't be fixed.”

I bow my head as she tells me all it takes is one phone call a day

Playing back phone calls in my head

-HelloWhoIsIt?

Please stop

Please

This isn't fair to me

Please leave me be-

This girl is me; before the fear.

Before the fall,

Before the let down.

No begging passes her lips

She has known no threat

Contributes to my theory that smiling faces

cannot bruise.
