Uncertainty
by: Katie

there
there is
there is this
there is this girl
there is this girl who

who doesn't
who doesn't quite
who doesn't quite know
who doesn't quite know how to live

she is unhapy
she is starving
she is weak
she is lonely

and

she sits
she sits there
she sits there in her room
she sits there in her room by herself
she sits there in her room by herself in the dark
and she's
f
  a
    l
      l
        i
          n
            g
she's falling
she's falling through her mind
through her memories
through her past
through her life

in her mind she is falling

where will she land?
