Closed door
A little girl sat on the floor of her bedroom, shaking, sobbing.
She was about nine.
She got an 82 on her math quiz.
Her father called her an idiot.
A single tear fell from her eye.
Her father called her a crybaby.
A sob emitted from her chapped lips.
He threw his plastic water cup at her.
She ran through the small house to her room.
And she closed her door.
