10 fingers clawing out my hair

9 homework assignments due

8 days sense I lost my seat at lunch

7 weeks sense she broke up with me

6 closed doors in my face

5 times I was told my love is wrong

4 hours till school starts, I haven't slept yet

3 times I had to fight the thoughts today

2 people intentionally hurting me

1 lonely little girl who shouldn't have to go through this at 13

1 day till Winter break

2 nice things said about me

3 times I beat the thoughts

4 jokes that made me laugh

5 times I got to eat with a friend

6 days ago I got a crush on the new girl

7 nights I've gotten to sleep by 1

8 smiles directed at me

9 minutes till my friend is coming over

10 fingers braiding my hair
