She lives in a world
noone understands
she waits,
she yearns.
she wishes,
she learns.

In her world,
she has powers
for all to see.
She is good,
she is wise.
but inside
she dies.

Lonely and alone,
she cries.
Waiting, wishing
Wanting to be free,
from all the responsibilites.
Her hearts grown up from years past.
Its learned,
been stomped on,
and mended.
All in one blast.
But still feels
trapped.
She wants to yell out:
"Hey look at me!
I'm important!"
"Look what I can do!"
"Please?"

They scoff at her,
Laugh, point,
make her feel like
she is two feet tall.
She wishes she could
Tell them all.

Instead she obeys,
with a heavy heart,
and slowly does
what she is told.
Oh how she wishes
She could be bold.
Fantastic adventures
She foresees.
Taking cruises
beyond the seas.
Learning archeology,
Hidden treasures,
for only her eyes to see.
Learning, watching,
Reading all,
Filling her mind with knowledge
of ancient cities,
Feeling the sun on
her weather beaten shoulders.
but alas its a pity.

Slowly she works herself
back...
Into reality.
Her lovely eyes,
Staring through the midnight sky,
Sigh Goodbye.
