Pig tails, 5 years old, laughing
Running freely in the warm sunshine
Watching her family argue
Tragedies revealing themselves
Where does she fit in the world?
Who will she be?

Braided hair, 10 years old, broken smile
Painting what she feels, abstract
Her parents divorced months ago
Slowly her mind becomes jumbled
Where does she fit in the world?
Who will she be?

Messy bun, 13 years old, tainted heart
Her room filled with artwork
Mesmerized by how the school mingles
Drifting between the geeks and the jocks
Where does she fit in the world?
Who will she be?

Loose curls, 16 years old, bright blue eyes
Sitting in class sketching wildly
She’s floating between social cliques
Alas, she’s found what she longed for
She knows where she fits in the world
She knows who she is, an artist
