Prior to Subsequent
Worries so
Smiling a lot
Cry too often
Draws herself away
Seems only books are her escape away
Aids the needed
Only to realize she also needs help
Beat down
On the curb
Looks down at herself
Sickly
Pushes herself too hard
Is seeking help
A protector guides her through
Relieving her
Worries not
Smiles truly
Joyful times
Running around
Laughing big
Draws art
Creates beautiful paintings
Imagining stories with her mind
Stronger
Healthier
Happy
That she’s able to face the world.
