HIT THE LIGHTS

Imagine: Lights are off in the smallest closet of the entire house and by flashlight a five year old kid is reading, hair in a slightly lopsided pony tail, the cargo shorts she took from her brother are almost falling off, and a large Lion King bandaid covers a scratch and bruise from the last accident. Suddenly someone knocks on the door and she gasps because she just knows it's her brother coming to beat her up again.

WE'RE GOING DOWN

Imagine: Years later...still the same kid trying to smile and laugh like nothing's wrong. Playing the part of daughter, friend, sister perfectly, she sits in class and waits for a question no one else knows so she can raise her hand from the back. Clothes are a little cooler, hair a little more feminine, mind a little more mature. Doesn't take much while friends are around; easier to be herself invisible. At home she locks herself away, finds solace in music and writing, but no one would ever know.

I SWEAR, YOU'RE JUST IN TIME

Lying through gritted teeth; Everything's fine, I'm fine, We're all just... fine. But in the end she just wants to go home and wait for her brother to stumble through the door, arms laden with half empty bottles that she can later steal and finish off. Wishing for the blade, now, to erase all this pain. But she's clean now, remember that, because God knows she won't. Drown herself in obscure lyrics, wants to pretend whoever's singing them really and truly understands; just wants someone to fix her. Save her.
