Never Enough

I know she was 16. That should be enough, but she’s a Black girl so it isn’t enough. It’s never enough.

She was always going to need more.

Apparently she was in a foster home. That’s all I know about her. And while that’s not a lot, and it’s enough to know she was hurting. Moving into a foster home at 16, for whatever reason, hurts. And whatever was done or said, no matter how vile or how mild, triggered that hurt.
