Broken

She is but, another girl

Gifted for everything

Excellent at nothing

 

She has dreams, like everyone else

And like all other dreams

Hers may never be realised

 

A steady beat, runs through her veins

not one of the heart, but one of the brain

an undeniable need, to pay heed

to a melodic ghost inside

constantly whispering

to a hope that will swifty die

 

Her unconscious mind

unknowingly calls

to the conscious one

to acknowledge the thrall

of a flying leap, a graceful sweep

then again, she lands in a heap

 

Broken, and alone again

Everyone else flying high

But she has been left behind

Yet she lingers on, and with a final effort

she is up, in the game once more

 

A steady beat, runs through her veins

not one of the heart, but one of the brain

an undeniable need, to pay heed

to a melodic ghost inside

constantly whispering

to a hope that will swifty die

 

This is the story of her life

one of constant anger, loss and strife

yet also one of hope

and a constant joy

that things will heal

I really liked this. It captivated me from the beginning, taunting me to read on - and I'm glad I did, because it was quite a joy to read.

beautifully written. I agree. Never let go of a dream that has been planted in your heart.

no one should ever give up on their dreams...
