she drew pink flowers with crayons on her little white sundress.
"look mommy. aren't i pretty now?"

her mother laughed and told her that crayons didn't make one pretty.

.

"that's a lovely drawing," her art teacher told her in the seventh grade.

"thank you, it's a self portrait." finally she had received a compliment.

"oh, is that so?" the teacher replied and walked away.

.

she begged for attention, while he watched in the shadows. waiting for
the day she would finally break. on his back was a backpack full of insults
and racial slurs. he knew pain, and he knew it well.

.

he sat beside her while she cried by the graffiti-splattered walls of the school.

she held crayons, short and dull. she wished they were knives.
"can you colour
me beautiful?"

"no, sorry. i don't believe in artificial beauty."

.

"can you tell me a story?" she liked the way he got lost in the world
he was creating as the words slid from his mouth.

"once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who thought if she wished
hard enough, one day her crayons would magically turn her into crayola perfection.
but little did she know, a lowly farm boy was secretly falling in love with her. i don't
think she ever knew though, which is a pity."

"did the princess ever live happily ever after?" she asked, a smile slowly forming
on her thin lips.

"we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?"

.
