What My Blanket Has Witnessed

A breathless fool
Smiling at the lies of a boy she knows is wrong
A sick baby
Crying for her mother’s milk, no response
A worn-out lad
Holding on to the hope spoken of by lost ones
A happy girl
Pulling off a deep sigh at her accomplishments
A talkative
Enjoying her own company, speaking to the dark and giggling
A planner
Mapping out her life as if it exists on her terms
A strong woman
Crying her eyes out in the silence and waking up with bigger muscles.
A lazy bone
Sleeping too much, or not sleeping at all because sleep takes effort
