One morning eight-year-old Quara woke up

She set her face into a mask

Because her father wasn't who he should be

And Miro wasn't around anymore

And everything was wrong

So everyone pretended to like her

When really everyone was pitying her

And whispering behind her back

So she had to be strong

She walked into school

And Bana said hello

So she said hello back

Bana never laughed at her

Bana never pitied her

He was kind and good

And he was just the right age

Quara dreamed a lot during class

Sometimes she dreamed about being normal

Sometimes she dreamed about being popular

Sometimes she dreamed about being loved

Today she dreamed about Bana

She dreamed about growing up

And getting married

To Bana

She dreamed about having children

Who would be normal

With Bana

And she dreamed about a life

That would be happy

With Bana

Then that afternoon

After school

She heard Michi talking

Michi said that Bana liked her

And asked her to go for a walk with him

Quara looked away

She decided that she didn't like Bana

Anymore

And he and Michi could live

Happily

Ever

After

She didn't care about anyone

And she would never love again

But she would hate

Hate was good

And Quara hated the world.
