She was just a girl
Dressed in a woman's skin.
Never quite got it
Never quite fit in
Knew early on that throwing words
Was a waste of time
Prize possessions like sincerity
Never did headline
She always strolls the second path
To the drummer in her heart
To try to make a difference
In a worldly jester's court.
She's walked a lifetime
Following her heart
She's stood tall while she crumbled
And dreams blew apart
She held her head above the shame
Of a world gone quite insane
To face the empty mornings
She embraced the pain
She always strolls the second path
To the drummer in her heart
To try to make a difference
In a worldly jester's court
She never wanted the career
Of a liberated woman
She found freedom on a path of truth
Sought solace in the moment
Now she walks in solitude
Upright and on her own
People and possessions come and go
But thru it all she's known
To always stroll the second path
To the drummer in her heart
To try to make a difference
In a worldly jester's court.

I'm glad you commented me or i'd probably have never had the pleasure of reading one of your beautifull poems
This one grabbed me in with the first two lines, and it didn't fail to dissapoint,
truly well done, i'll definately be sticking around if poems like this is what this site has to offer. -
The repition makes the poem get its point across. I bet it makes us all feel how bad it really is to never make it and be looked down upon. All in all gret poem.Great

I dig this. Usually, I try to make up something nice to say when I read lyrics that really aren’t all that great, but I have to tell you, that will not be the case this time. I thought that this was truly magnificent. I love the fact that all of your posts feel like you are basically telling your story, but using a different vehicle to do so. You are an amazing writer, and I enjoy reading your work immensely.

I really like this poem. It reminds me of my fear of change, and how I fight for everything to just stay the same.
the lines:
Now she walks in solitude
Upright and on her own
People and possessions come and go
reinforce the strength that it would take to remain true to yourself in a world that is ever-changing throwing many different obstacles. -
this is fanbloodytastic and other than telling you the verse was grand and i adored the line
she's stood tall while she crumbled
and dreams blew apart
she held her head above the shame
and
sought solace in the moment
now she walks in solitude
completly flawless and like i sais FANBLOODYTASTIC! lol abigailxxxxx -
