they say mermaids aren't real
they say beautiful tails can't be seen
they say long haired perfect girl is impossible

but what if
mermaids were seen in a different perspective
then mermaids are real
mermaids are everywhere
trying to keep up with the world
without knowing how to stand up by themselves

they keep on thinking that
going with the flow of the wave
would bring them peace and joy
but no one warned them that
imitating mermaids wrongly,
can't make you feel alive

are you one of those mermaids?
mermaids that still keep their mouths shut
and just sing all the mourn in their hearts;
mermaids that cannot think straight
and let others decide for themselves

let no one be that mermaid
let us all be the mermaid that is fierce
and can conquer both land or sea
fight enemies even though we're bounded;
restricted by how we're made

let us all be the mermaid
all kids have loved
let us all be the mermaid,
fantasies beautifully explain.
