Young
There was once a girl
with long blond hair and
bright
blue eyes.
She sang a song
as bright as day
yet
as dark as night.
For were she stepped
flowers bloomed
and
beauty spread
but were she stomped
the sky turned black
and
terror spread.
For she sang her song
as bright as day
yet
as dark as night.
For were she looked
dull and drab
turned
sparkle and flare
but were she glared
shock and fear
claimed
young and old
For she sang her song
as bright as day
yet
as dark as night.
What she touched
turns to
gold
as bright as day
but what she hit
turns to
ash
as dark as night.
For she sang her song
as bright as day
yet
as dark as night.
What she hears
a beautiful
song
getting what she wants
but what others hear
a terrifying
screech
a frightening show.
For she sang her song
as bright as day
yet
as dark as night.
Oh girl with
long blond hair and
bright
blue eyes,
bright as day and
dark as night
Why
do you sing your song?
