Tears seal lips like glue

JustABrush September 6th

Thud thud thud

Pound after pound

Steps move quick

Too scared to wait.

Red and Black

Mean so much

Gold glinting

Looking down with a grin.

Always told to behave

Told to be quiet

Told not to talk

About the pretty little colors.

Told not to talk about the snow

About the wind

About the knock that never came

And all the ones that did.

Not to talk about the van

About the tears

About the sobs

Or about the bags.

Not to talk

Not to cry

Not to think

Not to fail.

All the things

A little girl

Must not do.
