Problem Child
Sullen and defensive
(what's it to you?)
quietly disappearing
what difference does it make?
[tiny] and inferior
beaten into believing the propaganda
from [un]reliable sources
Her heart knew [stuck in survival mode]
nothing but self loathing and
self preservation. To her (unknowing) credit.
Strength.
Regarded as a “loose canon”
by proxy and
so it went.
Scarred.
A miracle.
In God’s eyes.
