As the days got darker
And the sun stopped shining
We became closer
As the clouds became grayer
And the rain started falling
We pretended
It was normal
As the world caved in
And the flowers decayed
We forgot
The pain
Of the world.
We Pretended

being a teenager is like living in hell
Can you remember
Who you were
Before the world told you
Who you should be?

her blood is on your hands
This is for everyone
Who has criticized
The body
Of a child
Today
An eleven-year-old girl
Is sitting in a hospital bed
Because she can’t eat a meal
Without feeling guilty

"Why didn't you ask for help?"
“Why didn’t you ask for help?”
When I didn’t write for weeks
I was asking for help
When I stopped smiling
When I stopped laughing
When happiness became fake

This gives me the image of two people falling gently in love as the world descends into catastrophe, into apocalypse. The contrast is lovely. For so few words, this piece is striking.
