Neglect

Neglect Do you see her? There, hiding in the corner? A little girl, with soft little curls. Tears drip from her eyes-- and you wonder why? Oblivious to the bruises on her pale, translucent arms. Afraid to see the burns on her thin little thighs. With a sad little smile, she slowly disappears. You wear an awkward smile and push away your fears. Alesia Leach © 01/2015
