Memories from when you were a little girl
When nothing mattered.
The calmess of the ocean,
The brightness of your day,
Were things you didn't notice
Until now.
Now you see
The rough waves,
The darkness.
You see the fights
You hear the words you wish
You never had to hear.
You understand more than you want to.
What used to be so calm
Is now encouraging your stress
To go overboard.
You felt like you weren't
Living life as a teenager.
You thought you needed more fun.
Now here you are,
Lying on the floor,
Eyes closed,
Hand still gripping
That empty bottle.
