I Spy


Look, look! They're everywhere!

I spy broken souls.

I spy a girl that just walked out of the bathroom stall after throwing up her lunch in the toilet.

I spy a boy with a black eye walking on the side of the road.

By the tree!

I spy a woman crying after finding out her five year old has been diagnosed with cancer.

I spy a man wearing black holding his son's hand as his wife is being lowered six feet under.

I see something by the bridge!

I spy a father getting ready to jump after being fired from the job that kept his family from being on the streets.

I spy a mother leaving her baby at the side of the road because she isn't ready to take care of another life.

There's someone in the glass window!

I spy a girl wondering if it's all even worth it.

I spy a girl scared that she'll never be truly loved, truly accepted by anyone.

I spy a girl with sad eyes terrified that her life means nothing.

I spy me.
