Beware, it’s the solitary girl
The stranger remark how odd a creature
How odd she is
Alone she walks, she eats, she sits, she reads
Beware,
It’s the solitary girl
Nothing in this life is left well enough alone and soon the rumors spin form the silver spoons; drugs, prostitution, no home, no hope
Whispers quicken, ‘ don’t let your children near the solitary girl
She relies on herself, **** dangerous girl
She holds her head high, never anyone at her side; poor solitary girl
What heartbreaks befall a person to turn them to be a solitary soul’ oh poor solitary girl
But she smiles and turns to the nosey eyes and announces to their trained airdropping ears
‘BEWARE! The solitary girl. I see the world as you distracted can’t, I appreciate the love your words spoils, I hear the bodies speak of all your scandals, beware of the solitary girl, I see the quiet unrewarded deeds and the secret affairs because the solitary girl - she IS an observer, of the world, keeper of our secrets, threat to your appearances, indeed, beware of the solitary girl.
