A lonely 3rd grader sleeps all alone
Unaware of the clatter of the night...
My eyes drift to the right,
with little satisfaction...
A casket lay open
With a young girl inside...
Why is it so hard to talk
When that is all you want to do...
Its to late to turn back
I have already swallowed them...
Trying to follow the directions
Make a left here...
A girl no older than sixteen
Thinking her life's just about to start...
I watch the ball
As it crosses the floor...
Of all the things I have learned
I only know one true thing...
Every birthday for every year
For each and every one of my friends...
Do you remember your birthday as a little girl?
Always wanting a pink pony...
I let you in
Not once but twice...
