The Girl with the Short Brown Hair

^{Lethologica – Chloe Fox}

Katherine Griffin

If the world was quiet, then you would be able to live

without worry – about money, about friends, about

school, about anything; and you could buy

whatever your heart desired.

If you could buy whatever your heart desired, then

you would buy a large house with a pool, one that

you could jump in without slathering oily sunscreen

on your skin.

If you could jump into the pool without slathering oily

sunscreen on your skin, then you would finally get

your sweet freckles and rosy cheeks back without

makeup.

If you finally got your sweet freckles back, maybe

then you would feel a little bit more confident and

would speak up in class, sharing your opinions.

If you would speak up in class sharing your

opinions, then maybe people would listen to you

and you would make more friends.

If you would make more friends, then maybe you

wouldn’t feel so lonely every day, sitting by yourself

left wondering if people actually cared about you or

if they were pretending to like you.

If you wouldn’t feel so lonely, then you would be

able to believe people when they said that they liked

you.

If you were able to believe people when they said

that they liked you, then you’d be able to talk to

them about anything that was on your mind instead

of going home and sitting on your bed for hours.

If you were able to talk with them about anything

that was on your mind, then maybe you’d feel as

though you wanted to get out of bed in the morning,

excited for days to come.

If you felt as though you wanted to get up in the

morning, then you would slowly become happy;

smiling and laughing without it being fake.

If you were able to smile and laugh without it being

fake, then you’d be yourself, never having to hide

around everyone. You’d be able to cherish every

moment you have with the people you love without

worrying about whether they liked you.
