white pebbles leave a trail in the deep dark forest are you Hansel? are you Gretel? are you the witch? the children always return to the dad that abandoned them to die when his bitch wife didn't feel like feeding them and where was their sweet mother? that would have given her life for theirs buried behind the house daddy probably told them it was a fever he couldn't break but we all know he just didn't give a shit when he realized he had two kids to raise no money no bread baking skills he married the bitch from town who could count coins and was shrewd enough to realize if they wanted to survive the children had to be sacrificed in the deep dark wood the daughter was smart maybe her wise mother rose from the dirt to whisper in her ear how to fucking survive so this little girl had to save her brother kill some old hag and give her idiot dad the treasures she had gotten with her inherent survival skills Gretel's future is fated taking care of the man that murdered her mother and maybe even her evil stepmother she will have to raise her fat little brother that was too stupid to outsmart an old blind witch the weight this little girl has to carry she doesn't even get to enjoy the treasures she got she had to cook an old woman alive now all she has is nightmares while she takes care of everyone she dreams of freedom she dreams of riding horses in the wind eating bread she hasn't baked and a man that won't make her go through this all over again she still keeps a pocketful of white pebbles to drop in the dark night because if there is one thing she has learned its that you can't trust a man to do what's right her skirts are heavy with abandonment issues while her father and brother count the gold she got them her mother and stepmother lay buried in the backyard she knows her fate if she doesn't stay smarter then them and succumbs to thinking they value her she will be in the backyard as well the next time Gretel makes dinner she will pocket the knife with her pebbles what she can hide from them is what keeps her safe
