Cartoon Midnight
She cries when it hurts inside.
She wishes she could end her life.
She tends to hold on to the past.
She finds it too difficult to forget.
She wanted to keep the baby.
She was young and too confused.
She hates herself now.
She dreams of holding life in her arms.
She doesn't understand why she hurts.
She wants it to go away.
She smiles like an innocent child.
She is beautiful, for what she's been through.
She misses her innocence.
She regrets the trouble curiosity caused.
She wants her family back.
She hates to be lonely, though she's gotten used to it.
She dreams at night in colors.
She dreams of flying in a cartoon midnight.
Dreams of being free.
