THE USED-PAIGE

Light me up

Paige Behrens

I’m dark inside.

My walls are black.

I look up and my ceiling is peeling.

Just hanging there.

On my floors there is nothing but dust and scratches.

I am broken.

But look above the door!

There’s a light!

It shines beautifully bright and I can see.

This light is my hope.

It is all I have left.

I’m crumbling, but look again.

my walls may be dark,

my ceiling may be peeling,

and my floors are scratched,

but I am still shining bright.
