She struggled to connect
as a result of emotional neglect
from a childhood she never had.
Growing up feeling alone.
She was there, but not.
She was surrounded with love,
but loneliness didn't allay,
for her mind has gone away.
Away, away
somewhere still in solitude.
They noticed this,
and they've tried.
Tried, tried
to find her mind.
Like catching leaves
in the whistling wind.
Feeling their efforts futile,
they stopped.
Oh, how fast they accepted.
Unaware that their efforts were effective.
