She talks to them,
by them
she means the
boys,
by the boys,
she means her
posters on her
wall.
She says
"I'm proud of you boys"
She says
"Thank you"
She says
"You saved me"
She says
"You make me strong"
She says
"You make me feel beautiful"
She says
"You make me feel like I'm worth it"
And once again
she says
"Thank you"
but this time
with proud, happy
tears streaming
down her cheeks.
