Human

Maybe the girl with those blue ocean eyes

Is hiding her beauty behind that disguise

She’s running to safety from whatever lies

In the shadows of darkness and nights of surprise

 

Growing in stature yet shrinking in size

Wishing for a home with warm apple pies

She’s running through life all the lows and the highs

Running to her perfect and polished surprise

 

A journey so long she said all her goodbyes

To people who care if she lives or she dies

To those who will not think about her demise

And to those who would lay her under the blue skies

 

So less of today and more of tomorrow

Is what she was thinking through all of her sorrow

After the storm is a colorful rainbow

So she chases her dreams so as to not borrow

 

Time and empathy from others who if

On the edge of their minds they just fall off a cliff

Seeming so warm yet internally stiff

Humming along to the tune of her riff

 

Why does she have to go through all that pain

To lose so much but so little to gain

Unless she chooses a path that may contain

Flowers of fire and chants of champagne

 

So here we are now, at the end of her sorrow

She lives in today yet dreams of tomorrow

Where finally she can feel like she is happy

Only for demons to return to her
