I knew a girl
Just like me
Who wanted to get out
Wanted to be free
Always at home
Trapped in a cage
With no friends to call
Hiding all her rage
She kept her secrets hidden away
A pin in a haystack
A needle in the hay
She thought the world against her
And wished to die
Her world was a blur
In anyone else's eye
Her world...full of hopes and dreams
Heavy metal and mysterious schemes
That night she looked out at the stars
Wondering about galaxies
Wondering how far
Tears filled her eyes the next day at school
She screamed and told them they were all fools
"How can you sit there
and chatter away
when the world could be destroyed
any old day?!"
Tears at that time flowed down her cheeks
Everyone stared
No one dared speak
"I saw it in the stars
and in my dream
but my dream never finished
because I awoke and screamed."
She ran through the hallway
and then out the door
and was seen never more
Three months later,
one bright Monday morn
she returned tired, bent,
beaten and torn.
But we must stop there
This is where the story ends
because if we didn't
it would being again.
