Just like the sun,
I rise.
Just like her,
I try to shine.

just looking around my room lit by the faint moonlight.

I’m afraid of a lot of things.
I’m afraid of the dark, I’m afraid of the thoughts in my head,
I’m 16 and I’m still afraid of the monsters under my bed.

People will consistently have something to say
People will always talk, she says
