Zoom!
Zoom
18 You see a girl standing in the hall
Her eyes, the color of the sea
A single tear drop falling to the floor
Zoom
16 You see the girl at school
Getting no attention from friends or even teachers
She sits in a bathroom stall to eat her lunch because she has no one to eat with
Zoom
14 You see the girl at home
Getting beat by her father and bossed around by her brothers and sisters
Her mother passed, the blame on her
Zoom
12 You see the girl walking home alone
She gets pulled into an alleyway and is held down by something she couldn't overpower
She tries to scream but her lips wouldnt move
She tries to break free but her limbs stood still
She gets stripped of her clothes and gets invaded of her body
The last thing she remembers of that night was the face of the one she called her father
Zoom
10 You see the girl standing in front of a coffin with her only friend inside with a single blue rose in her arms
Next to the corpse, a note addressed to the girl with a small blue box disappeared from the scene with the girl
Now two people in her life gone
Zoom
8 You see the girl in a car having an argument with her mom
Her mom looks away from the road to yell at her disappointment but loses control of the wheel
News spread that out of the two
Only one survived
Zoom
6 You see the girl on the swings by herself
A different girl runs over with a smile on her face and asks to play
The girl receives a small grin and she makes a friend
Zoom
4 You see a crowd of families gathered together celebrating the graduation of nursery school
Each student with their parents all smiling and laughing
But the girl is alone and away from the crowd
Her parents at work not even bothering to try to make it to her big day
Zoom
2 You see a small child, crouching in the darkness
Trying to hide from all the hate and disrespect she receives from the people around her
Tears trickle down her cheeks
But to the naked eye is invisible
Zoom
A child was born.
