All Was Well
There was a girl
Who saw nothing as it truly was,
And all was well.
Everday she sang.
Sang for joy.
Sang for love.
There was a girl
She began seeing thingss for as they were,
And all was swell.
She was growing up.
Sometimes she sang.
For happiness.
For freedom.
There was a girl
Who saw everything as it was
All was not well.
For she saw everything as it was
And it destroyed her.
There was society
Who shielded themselves from as things were.
And shamed people for being themselves.
And scar by scar
There was a girl
Who was ruined.
She used to sing for love
She yearned for happiness.
One day she ceased to sing.
All was well.
