Sparkatale

Scorned.

Cast out of all that I knew.

Outcast.

Time-out.

Sit in the corner-

Five year old prison.

Water’s running-

Water’s running.

Sissy’s crying…

Sissy’s...laughing?

Liar.

Mischievous.

Mommy’s angry;

Daddy’s giggling.

Pjs curled in tiny, chubby fingers.

Bare, stubbed toes clutching at carpet.

Water’s turned off.

Bathroom light flooded hallways.

Sissy’s smiling;

Mommy’s groaning;

Daddy’s grinning.

Never had I seen Sami so happy.

Big blue eyes and

Chubby body.

Fine blonde hair

Now starkly aqua,

And a big sister’s promise

That blue toothpaste in your hair

Will make all of your dreams

Come true.
