Gali

Each time you see her

Someone else takes your place

And I no longer matter

Her and I used to be friends

But then

She said she was

going to drop me

As it I am am item to be

Only day 6

And yet my backpack

Has left bruises in my back

Quizzes and tests

Have been sprung upon me

Only day 6

And yet friendships

Have already started

To weaken and decay

Each word is a chain

Wrapping around me

Trapping me in this idea

You have created

There are no keys to unlock

Me from your grasp

Only my words

Can undo your chains

But I'm tired

Of fighting

Wisps of long brown hair

escaping a orange knit hat

Honey brown eyes

Surrounded by black-rimmed glasses

Heart-shaped lips

Lightly covered in lip gloss

Cream sweater

Under a green puffy jacket

Your brown eyes

Long lashes

Blond hair pulled back

Blue nails

Your hat with the pom pom

Coat with the many zippers

Platform shoes that you were so proud of

The way you would

I don’t get

Why you control

Our bodies

When you don’t have

The capability 

To understand what it’s like
