She hung pictures on the wall upside down

To give the world a new perspective

And when she cried

She went outside

No matter how bad the weather

She hung flowers from the ceiling

So when they died, the petals would rain down

And she never wore her hair up

Having it down made her feel free

She put turtle statues in her garden for good luck

And fortune cookies in candy dishes

She played sad music when she was glad

It made her see reality in a different light

She bought cactus in the winter

Just to watch them survive

Set the clocks ten minutes ahead

Just to make it on time

She saw ghosts all over

But pretended they weren't there

Her veins bled black

But that, you'll never see
