Won't feel as alone as she does

And counting

And mommy agrees

Why go home?

She seems to be stronger

But what they want her to be is weak
External expectations for her to be weak.
She could play pretend

She could join the game, boy
Option to conform to societal norms or expectations.
She could be another clone
