HOPE
She must have been in a rush says the cluttered bed
Her asthma is severe says the prepared breathing machine beside the bed
The pillow perfectly positioned with a few wet spots shows she holds it at night,at night when she cries
The varies make up bags and buckets say that she uses them to hide any insecurities
The few travel boxes say she moves often and doesn't bother to unpack if the transition
is to happen again
The headphones and music CDs tell of how she blocks out the world with them
The thigh high socks show her love for cold weather fashions
The flannels sprawled out say she has used there long sleeves and comfort to hide from hurt
She is still a student, says the backpack and composition books lying upon the carpet
Her mother is in love with Christmas screams the Christmas decor all throughout the living room
She wants to travel soon says suitcases begging to be filled with clothes and other travel goods
The hat hung before the headboard of her bed says it means importance to her, special it says.
Her mother tries hard to play father and mother roles says the photos lacking her father
She has two brothers says the doubled bunk beds in the other room
Her escape is drawing, says the sketches in her bag
She wants to be more than this says the personal writings sprawled upon the desk
And with all this she has hope screams her eyes.
