| It's not that she doesn't laugh It's just that her smile never shines so true. It's not that she cries nonstop It's just that her tears soak through and through. It's not that she shaves her head It's just that her hair falls and never grows. It's not she's afraid of time It's just that how much she has left is so unknown. It's not that she hates the holidays It's just she knows each on could be her last. It's not that she doesn't like history It's just that she's afraid to part of the past. It's not she's now and old woman It's just that she's cancer ridden and young, with a family who prays all day, and a childhood that has come undone. |
