They remain faceless
Lost, in an unforgiving world

Humanity, is tasteless
On the streets, their lives, unfurled

Sneers from others, laughter
People can be so cruel

Life is a living disaster
Why isn’t this unusual?

Homeless, they fight the sun
Before night and cold alight

Hoping to find anyone
Praying for those who might

Show compassion, lend a hand
Find them shelter from the cold

For they are, just as we are, human
Hoping, they too, can grow old

Delightful raindrops

Scatter among the flora

Quenching nature’s thirst

Mystic powers, in her hands

Elfin magic, carefully planned

A talisman of water, blue

That hides the secrets, no one knew

Of how she came to be an elf

Different from her mortal self

They called her queen, with scepter tall

She ruled their world, the big and small

Never to learn that their precious queen

Knew her victory had been foreseen

Eyes wide, she’s fascinated
By everything she sees

Butterflies and ladybugs
Fly about, so free

Her imagination soars
In this little patch of land

Her chair is just a big old snail
She thinks he’s rather grand

Flowers and mushrooms sprout
Decorating the grass around her

As she takes in all the wonder
Of the beauty that surrounds her

Too many people, inside of my head

Most fill the hours, with sorrow or dread

Nothing makes sense, I just want to shout

The only way through, has no way out

I’m stuck here, inside me, what can I do?

I’m feeling so foolish, I wish that I knew

How to get rid of the confusion, so snide

It ruffles my feathers and flattens my pride

There’s too much noise, as it swirls all around

I need to plant my feet, on more solid ground

Though I try to quiet my brain, as I lie here, instead

Still seems like I’m drowning, in a nonsensical head
