Nobody would
Have
Thought
Of her
Her with
Her
Soft
Small features
That she could
Be anything
More than
A cardboard box
With the word
“FRAGILE”
In block red letters
That if she were to explode
There would be anything
Less than the white feathers
Of an angel
Slowing
Settling
To the ground
But
She
Is
In
So
Much
Pain
She’s a skeleton
With cracking and splintering bones
Her heart, her eyelids, her shoulders
Are too heavy for her
To carry on her own
For
She
Is
In
So
Much
Pain
No one ever sees it
-she wants to give up-
She dances
She sings
And there will always be stars in her eyes
How can she not be okay?
-she won’t give up-
She travels to places
People never See
And cries melodies
People never Hear
-because she’s so much-
More.
