paper plane
is she paper?
is she quick to tear?
an easy rip
a skinny slip of a
deranged
dissociative
still little
girl
who can argue?
she can’t even smile, when they do
the mirror says no.
she listens.
though she knows
she’s allowed to scream
something keeps this paper
from telling the things
she dare not show.
and lord knows, she could fly
if only she chose to fold
instead of cry.

Dear T,
There is a delicate ache throughout this write for me. Tender tears, fragile soul. H🌷
