You came home today crying so hard. Ripped up everything you could find. Salt water trickled down Mom’s cheeks. She couldn’t feel what we know too well. As the thoughts loop in your head, throw one of me in with the rest. No one your age should feel so bad or need some pills to not feel sad. Don’t you dare ever think about trying to hurt yourself. What drawings would I hang? What games would we play? From the kitchen window, we watched you swing. A creative wind that follows no current. Our good Father knows what you need. Don’t compare. You are so special. The chemical imbalance that you named. The professionals that you see. They will soon be underground. Everything is balanced in the end. As the thoughts loop in your head, throw one of me in with the rest. No one your age should feel so bad or need some pills to not feel sad. Don’t you dare ever think about trying to hurt yourself. What drawings would I hang? What games would we play? As the thoughts loop in my head, I’ll throw one of you in with the rest. No one should ever feel so bad or need some pills to not feel mad. Don’t you dare ever think about running away from this house. What stories would I read? What colors would we see? There’s something wrong in your head. It has been made right. It is being made right. It will be made right. Take away her bad thoughts and bad dreams, and fill her mind with good thoughts and good dreams.
