"Prayer Against Forgetting Girls" by Terriana Richardson

The girl with the bad attitude
The girl with the mole on the side of her mouth
The girl who liked girls
The girl whose house burnt down
The girl from California
The girl whose twin was fascinated with roaches
The girl who liked digging worms
The girl with the sweet conscience

The girl with the puppy that never stopped barking
The girl with every new shoe
The girl with beautiful hazel eyes
The girl that dressed like a boy
The girl that squeaked like a mouse when reading in front of an audience
The girl that created her own world of rainbows and lolly pops
The girl with fast behavior that made nothing but As
The girl who’d love to fight
The girl that got every question right
The girl with ambidextrous vision
