Farewell

It is scratching

Screeching

Soaring 

Fighting

Beating

Dreaming

Molding

Growing

Hatching

Your wild heart

Is breaking

Breaking free

Alone at the table

Soup and cheese bread

A full glass of water

It drowns your head

Your family left you

For that television again

You'd rather have company

Conversation

Their voices

Their laughter

Their questions

Their light coloured eyes

Especially when you're about to leave them behind

Headlines

News

Election scores

Big cities

Too much food

Vanity

Oodles of people

The USA

Did you ever think

As a little girl

You'd be scared?

You'd be torn?

Out of place

 In a big strange world?

Yet you'd feel you belonged

Far across the ocean

In somebody else's arms

In the days you came  

They planned your funeral

But could you tell?

That at 23 

You would say farewell?

Farewell to your country

Farewell to your friends

Farewell to the forest

Farewell  

A mad girl

A mad girl they say

A mad girl's love song

Is all that you are these days

Follow your heart?

Lose your mind

The best love is insane

The walls of protection

You will gladly put in flames 

War paint on your face

A storm through your mane

You won't be the same

That is that  

Farewell

This is not the end

For you have a heart to tend

A luminous heart to mend
