A poem depicting a girl's emotional struggles.

How many rocks should she take with her?
Five.
One to throw at the people laughing, pointing.
One to throw at her Fear.
One to throw at a wall, screaming.
One to throw at the mirror.
And
One to swallow
With her eyes squeezed shut.
So the sharp edges
Tear her open.
