unwanted. not enough.
her breath comes ragged at the girl lopes up the mountain, climbing the slope with a speed she'd never managed to reach. something familiar burns through her veins, draws taunt her muscles and carves deeply into the contours of her face. it had been exhausting, carrying it with her in her youth. she'd tried to forgive, to let it fade.
but she is older, now, and wiser. enough to know the overwhelming magnitude of the things she knows now; the woman who had borne her into this world had not done so out of love, that she was not a daughter, but an object. that she had expended whatever value had been placed on her and then abandoned, and orphaned. the woman who'd birthed her had returned, then, and made no mention of her.
she lived only because of someone who was entirely apathetic about her existence.
