hell is for children by ~KestrelAspen:iconKestrelAspen:

Categories Literature > Prose > Fiction > General Fiction


she was the little girl who painted sunsets and rainstorms. she heard music where no one was listening. she saw beauty in shattered glass and weeping trees and rain on asphalt, shining like silver, and she hated the sight of the sun. she was the little girl that nobody talked to, the one that dreamed of flying, but felt like a butterfly with its wings plucked off.

she was the little girl who knew black eyes and the smell of alcohol. she knew all the best places to hide when mommy came home drunk and angry and just waiting to beat her with words and fists and hatred. she knew bruised bodies and broken hearts better than she knew pretty dresses and tea parties.

yeah.. i don't know.. it doesn't really fit to be honest, it goes from the girl seeing such ordinairy, yet sad things in a beautiful way, to her having hardships with her mom idk.
