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
