Haunting Memories

My name is Lilly

And I am haunted

by memories of my

dead mother

I want to be close to her

again

My father is a mean spirited

man

Who treats his own daughter

like garbage

Then one day I did

the unthinkable

I ran away

Now I live with three

sisters

Who have given me

a new lease

on life

Now I feel complete

Now I feel close

to my dead

mother
