Your heart aches as it should
What a catastrophe
When the world doesn't know all
When they don't see the stars
Like you
You can't convince
And you can't persuade.
How debilitating it is to see the world burn
To have the cures
And have no choice but to stand idle
Know which way to go
And watch everyone run the opposite way
Full speed
How do you tell someone their limbs are falling off
When they feel nothing
When their sight doesn't work
And their hearing gave out
Oh sweet girl
Why are you here
Where did you get mixed up
This wasn't supposed to be where you landed
You were supposed to be amongst the stars
Beyond the moon
Farther than the planets.
Your light was supposed to be matched
Amongst the brightest realms
Traveling alongside meteors.
Exploding comets
So again
What are you doing here.
In a place that can't comprehend your sparkle
Doesn't know what a real ignite is
Oh sweet girl.
I'm sorry you have to be here
Have to watch this happen to you
Have to feel this
But you've always known you don't belong
Always had that power
Always seen beyond
Embrace it.
Take it head on and don't succumb
Don't let the darkness in
Don't let it dim you
You're a force that doesn't belong and for that
I'm sorry.
But you know all truths
You know all hearts
You're not someone who touches a life
You're someone who generates it.
You put the fuel back into souls
Give the resilience
The capacity
The warmth
To not give up
To see the next steps.
Not on the surface
Deep in their core
In the darkest of places
They will never know exist
You create a twinkle
And when they feel able
And strong
They go
And sweet girl
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you're not a stranger to being left
To this sorrow
Know you're more than how they make you feel
How they make you think
You know you haunt their minds
linger in their thoughts
In their walls
their ears.
The more they act like you don't
Is their fight to keep you out
Keep you away
They can't escape it
They try to run
They'll try to it hide too
Oh sweet girl
The humble edge you bring
Is nice
But not real
What's real is the dreams they will inevitably lose
The absence they will feel
Once the thrill
The excitement
And reality creeps in
You can't keep a force of nature out
It exists everywhere
It seeps
So sweet girl
I'm sorry this is your pain
But don't change
Because this world needs you
For some reason you're here
Nobody will ever be able to let you go
You were meant to be bigger than this life
I know you feel it
I know you see it
So sweet girl
I'm sorry.
