Once there was a lonely girl
Who wished for things she did not need
She would kneel down on her knees
For hours she would beg and plead
She wanted to be Princess
She wanted to be Queen
She wanted people to love her
But she really wanted to be seen
When she finally got her wish
She sat overlooking the sight
On her throne above all
She realized this was not right
Some say she wished too hard
Some say she wished too long
But then we awoke one autumn day
To find that she was gone
The trees they say stood witness
The sky refused to tell
Someone who was there
Knew the story well
She just let go of all she held
And then
She was gone
