Have you ever heard the story of the young girl? 
Who ventured into the hospital after a life-changing mistake
The girl who spends her days hiding the red lines on her arms and legs 
The young girl who proclaimed the perfect life 
Have you? 
I bet you haven’t
Nobody heard mine 
Not a single soul 


My name is Aya 
And it’s been 1,460 days since I’ve been alone 
It’s been 1,095 days since I’ve been hurt 
And it’s been 730 days since I’ve been broken 


And this is my story 
The one nobody cared to listen to, and nobody cared to write 


A story of a young girl with brown hair up in a bun 
With the only worry being next week’s math test 
A story of a young girl who seemed she’d forever be in her awkward phase 
of the early teenage years 




The story of a girl with an annoying brother 
And worrisome parents 
The story of a girl with a poodle named Cocoa 
And a cat named mushu


The story of a young girl with a great life 
But made one stupid, fast, misjudged decision 
That felt she had to prove to someone that she was grown up 
That she could handle the big stuff 


The story of a young girl who at just 12 
Became with child 
The story of a young girl who at just 12 
Was told to get married


The story of a young girl 
Who would become a single parent 
The story of a young girl 
Who at 12 became without a home 


The story of a young girl 
Who at the age of 13 experienced the loss of her child 
The story of a young girl who ended up alone 
Without her newborn child 


The story of a young girl 
Who spent her days looking for edible berries in the forest 
The girl who spent her nights 
Lurking in the shadows staring at the home she once had that vaguely smelled of strawberries 


The girl who at the age of 14 
Diagnosed herself with depression
The girl who at the age of 14 
Diagnosed herself with anxiety 


The girl who sheepishly tried to return home 
To only be scolded by her mother 
The girl who learned of the second loss in her family 
Her dear brother Evan


The girl who watched the funeral in a distance 
So that nobody could hear her wailing cries 
So, nobody could feel the pressuring guilt that radiated off her, as her soul broke 
When she found out her brother had taken his life when she never came back home 


The story of a girl who forced herself into foster care 
Going house to house 
The girl who marked red lines on her arms 
To try and cope with the pain 


The story of a girl who at the age of 16 
Ran away from her home 
The story of a girl who 
Just couldn’t cope anymore 


The story of a girl who 
Ran to the lake once the clock struck two 
And jumped in not bothering or wanting to come up 
And not hearing the deafening cries of a young detective


The story of a girl 
Who at the age of 16
Was wheeled into the hospital doors 
With injures beyond repair 
And a slim will to live 


The story of Aya 
A 12 year old girl 
Who made one decision
That caused years of suffering for many
