there is a girl
she lives with her mother
and one night
the mother goes out to a bar
the girl thinks nothing of it
she goes to sleep
so peacefully that night
but then when they get home
she gets wokin up
by all their loud screaming
and starts to cry
then she quickly
runs to her computer
then she puts on her headfones
finds a good CD
Puts It in
and blairs her music
she doesnt even hear her sister
come in from work
the sister startles her
and points to the bag
then the cloths
then finally
the door
the sister drives the girl
to her cousins
where she will be sleeping
until she has to wake up
and go to school
and she has to live through that
at least 3 times a month
the only place she feels safe at
is school
no parents
and no alcohol
and none of the two mixed together
