I wake up and wonder


Somedays I wake up and wonder will today be the day that god takes my light away.? or is it the day of a girl, a African American girl, a girl with bad teeth, a girl with bad hair and clothes.? Or the day she, that one girl, gets let down or lied to Or the day that that one beautiful ,perfect in every way, girl dies. . in a car crash Behind a drunk driver Or the day that a girl, no one cares about, no one notices. . . kills herself Some days I wake up and wonder am I that one girl today.?
