my tiny hopes cannot compete
with rejection and despair
I regret a rail card's refusal while
my roomate holds my hair
I own no strength or courage
my wings are not unfurled
I did not bid these things to come
inside my fragile world
by only my voice can I be saved
in just the last few days
fans and friends and now I am
a girl of nothing but greys
