Here we are
One time a baby was born and she was so pretty
and she drank milk and cried a lot but it was okay cause mom
and dad were always there
and she lived in a colorful house with a crib just for her and she always cried loud enough for her parents to hear her
and she always got what she wanted
and she smiled a lot and played with her thoughts cause everything was new
One time a child was at school and she was so smart
and she drank juice for lunch and cried when she scraped her knee at recess but it was okay cause someone always helped her up
and she had a house made of pillows and blankets
and her cat slept with her every night cause it was old
and she played outside every day and got her clothes dirty
and her mom yelled at her but she didn't care
and she always smiled because everything was beautiful
One time there was a girl in high school and she was so hopeful
and she drank alcohol with her friends and cried a lot when she was feeling sad
and she was always feeling sad and it wasn't okay cause no one made the tears stop
and she lived in a house made of posters and she wanted to be pretty like those posters so she wore makeup
and she slept alone because her cat died
and she never spoke in school because they told her to keep her mouth shut and she made her mom buy her clothes that went with her makeup and looked ugly and she knew it but she got them all the same
and she smiled because that's what everyone else did and she watched t.v. and was so lonely but none of the characters seemed to care
One time there was an adult at work and she was so tired
and she drank alcohol by herself and never cried because she wasn't supposed to
and it wasn't okay because she wanted to so badly
and she lived in a house painted brown in a subdivision painted gray
and she slept with a man she hated but it didn't matter because she was supposed to be in love
and she talked quite a bit but only of her house and how great it was
even though she hated it all
and she bought clothes at department stores cause that's where they all bought clothes
and her makeup ran down her chin but she didn't care because he still kissed her
and when she was alone she never smiled but at work and home that was all she did
and she looked over a bridge everyday wanting to jump over but she never did cause that only happened in movies so she sucked it all up and sat on the damned couch and had some children who would sit on the damned couch again.
