Painful WishA Poem by NovaeSpes A young girl, age twelve, her eyes red and swollen, she sits cross legged on the edge of the field staring into the small creak before her. Twelve years old and she knows the dread of an angry mother, she knows the pain of a fist, Her face tear stained and bleeding, she tightly grips a piece of paper in her delicate hands. her eyes shut tight, gripping to the paper for dear life. She begins rocking back and forth whispering a single wish over and over, as if the harder she rocked the more it'd come true. She slowly opens her eyes and leans to the creak, she places the paper into the water and watches the scribbled words float away. "Take me away, I want to be happy, Take me away." the scribbled paper begin to fade away into the distance.
