I Was Well Known

Here is where I let my
roots grow. I lived in
many other places but

was too young to make
any personal connections.
Here, is where Scarlet
was born. Here is where I

every child from every
grade I've ever been in.
Here is where the scars began
to show up. Here is where my

disappeared into the atmosphere
along with my breath and the
balloons that were released on
my thirteenth birthday. And
along with those balloons,
went my sanity.
