She sits on the playground
face damp
stomach aching

everything will be good someday

i’ll be pretty

and skinny

i’ll have friends

and a boyfriend

everything will be good

someday

She sits on her bed
face damp
heart aching

everything will be good soon

i’ll leave this place

and meet new people

i’ll buy what i want

and make my own choices

everything will be good

soon

She sits at her desk
face damp
head aching

Everything was good once

I didn’t care how I looked

And I had lots of friends

I loved my family

And I did as I pleased

everything was good

once
