Before
I didn’t see the outside of her….
But it seems like I’m going
out to see
After
I see that big blue room with the man wearing white.
Everyone in the room is smiling, while I’m screaming at the top of my lungs.
But they don’t help me?
Before
The pain is so intense but Moma gives me something cold to soothe it
Eating the mushy stuff in the little can
After
The things that started the terrible pain
Start to fall out
All that pain for nothing
Before
Moma brings me to this huge building
I heard it was full of people like me.
I’m scared but excited to meet these people
After
I meet these people some I like and others…
Ughh…
A girl told me we’ll be in here forever
I laughed but she was serious
