once there was a girl
who believed in fairytales and magic
in big dreams and adventures
as she grew older she looked for her charming
the one that she could call home
but instead, as she wandered
the streets of towns that were far away from home
dancing in the rain and singing to the flowers
spreading all her joy
in hopes to find someone that would love her
the world returned her kindness
with abusive love and hopeless dreams
so she sat there crushed after years of trying and thought
maybe i wasn’t meant to be loved by someone after all
