Survival

Sally's awake in the night.

Sally's awake in the day.

Sally's bruised from the fight.

Sally can't come out to play.

Sally is sick with the pox.

Sally's got blood in her hair.

Sally is hand-me-down socks.

Sally is worn threadbare.

Sally won't tell of her tears.

Sally is happy, serene.

Sally was missing for years.

Sally just tries to keep clean.
