3,452 holes in the wall. I've counted all of them. 1,000 times this month. My eyes closed, but sleep never comes. So I count the holes in my wall. Sometimes I listen to cars go by, or birds chirping. Most times it's them yelling. About me, or the bills. Sometimes they even argue about  what to ******* eat. I hate them both. I wish they would've killed me instead. 4 more years until I'm free. Until then... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

i wrote this spontaneously but i put a bit more thought into it. as of right now, Tian  is 12. I know in USA (That's where she's living)  it's 18 for the legal age, but I feel like it's too long of  a wait and this is fiction, so 16 it is :) I don't want to tell the whole poem, but I do want to say that she suffers from insomnia and you'll learn why in the next part of the series :) Thanks for reading!
