On the Outside Always Looking In
3
Emma’s voice squeaks as she tries to talk. “Why… Why are you … Don’t leave me.”
But Barbie has already disappeared in the hallway.
She almost knocks herself off balance as she stares at the size of the bird.
“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese,” he says trying not to burst into laughter.
Paying no attention to his weird sense of humour, Emma keeps staring down the hallway, while tears sting her eyes.
“Where are we going?”
“Just enjoy the journey,” he says studying her carefully.
A cold, endless hallway with no colour, is it possible to enjoy this?
A song so familiar changed the pale palace into her pink girly room.
Her mom peeks through the half opened door, “Emma, it’s time to get up. You don’t want to be late for school.”
Stretching her arms and filling her lungs with big gulps of air. A bit confused she gets ready for school.
Another usual day, wandering around at school feeling like the black sheep that accidently landed in the wrong herd.
The same day over and over again. Undress. Lunch. Homework.
And then, finally the part of the day she enjoys. Sitting down and writing whatever words come to her. Time disappears whenever she can make words come alive on paper.
