And then there were two
Best friends
Most of the time
On and off
For many years
One
running back to the other
When she probably should have let her be
Until
She realized
That she couldn’t
keep
letting
herself
get
picked
on.
And
left
alone.
And forgotten.
And ignored.
And chosen
second.
And lied about.
And pretend it was a joke.
And then there was one.
And she was happy.

How do I see the world? I see a lot of bad things. That’s what the news likes to show us. There’s war, poverty, hunger, death, school shootings, plane crashes, and of course the looming threat of climate change.
I love trampolines.
I love feeling my strong legs push into the balls of my feet push against the resistance of the springs just before they shoot me into the air.
I love the short time where I am flying higher and higher.
I have 2 brothers
One is 11
and one is 3.
My house is never
ever
quiet.
I used to want an older sister.
To borrow clothes from.
To talk to about boys.
To show me how to put on make up.
