On a park bench
she sits and waits
for no one...
Dad packed up
and left them
Mom's never home
She is alone
so she takes
photos of people
Then she hangs
them on her wall
to not feel lonely
Celeste is young
but not naive
She sees the world
and sees her life
knows it's imperfect
but she don't mind
She loses herself
in her dreams
and her thoughts

"she don't mind" ---> doesn't
i love the name you gave her! Celeste is such a good name, right between harmony and eternity.

Great take on the pic. There are perhaps some other Celeste in this world. The poem has a lot of truth in it, May you do well in the contest.
