Lessons Hidden Inside Papers

She only takes notice when she has time.
She cares for some of us.
She despises others.
Notes full of memories.

Notes with different perspectives.
Notes from verbally abusive boys.
Notes from crushes.
Notes from friends.
Notes full of memories.

She smiles, laughs, and her eyes leak.
She reaches for a pair scissors, but stops.
She wanted to destroy the bad ones,
But keep the good memories alive.

She doesn’t like the reminders.
But she still keeps them.
Each note holds a memory.
Each memory hold a lesson.
