Girl has no friends.

People think that Girl is a freak. 

Girl is hit again. 

It hurt bad this time.

Girl is afraid again. 

Girl is bullied by boys.

Boys like to touch Girl.

Girl thinks its normal.

Girl goes into lockdown. 

Girl is confused and scared.

Girl's parents fight.

They fight loud.

Girl's parents get a divorce.

Girl is sad.

Girl's grandma dies. 

girl misses her.

Girl starts scratching her skin because it feels good.

Girl has scars on her arms.

People think Girl is a freak again.

Girl might like girls.

But wait, Girl cannot like girl. 

Girl must only like boy.

So that must be how it is.

Girl meets girl. 

they fall in love.

New girl sexualizes Girl.

Girl is shoved against a wall.

Girl is groped and told bad things.

Things Girl should not hear.

Girl can still feel her touch. 

Girl still loves new girl though.

So girl doesn't speak up. 

Girl meets new girl. 

girl-boy? 

Girl and Girl-boy fall in love too.

Girl-boy grabs her sometimes.

Girl is confused.

Girl has been through this before.

Girl does not fight back.

Summer comes so soon.

Girl misses Girl-boy. 

Girl starts cutting herself. 

Cutting takes the hurt away.

Girl takes it too far. 

Girl attempts suicide.

Girl likes the feeling.

But girl did not cut deep enough. 

Girl tries again.

Girl still did not cut deep enough.

Summer is done for girl. 

Girl goes back to school.

Is girl Girl-Boy? 

Girl-boy like other girl-boy?

Girl does not want to be like Girl- boy.

Girl can still feel Girl-boy's touch.

Girl finds new girl.

Girl loves new girl.

New girl gets sad.

New girl kills herself. 

Girl tries one more time. 

Girl fails again.

Girl gives up on trying.

Girl comes to poetry.

This is Girl now.

The heart can all too often be a truly
honest and hopefully gentle,
but lonely, hunter 🍂

Thank you, Veronica, for sharing your
wondrously yearning soul, excellently
laid imagery, deep emotion, and
poignantly sad beauty! ⁓ Richard🖌

I wish you a warm welcome to the Café.

poetry is often a road on which to find ourselves.
