A harrowing tale could this be, of a girl who gained her soul, but lost the world
all that had ever been believed in, all that had ever given hope
revealed to be false amidst the unraveling of the veil, into a new realm was she hurled
one where there is overwhelming pain, and hatred, no confidence with which to cope
her soul allowed her to visit Utopia, a dream as intangible as a wisp of smoke
all too often misunderstood, underestimated, thought to be entirely insane
her voice reaches some, but for many others, the message does not evoke
she finds that she has echoed too long, her own voice and thoughts become her eternal bane
swallowed within a truth that she has so long sought, viewed as a reality
in actuality it just is not possible, but what can a girl do when swallowed whole
visions of true love, coexistence, God, all lost in a moment of brutality
what does a person do when they lose the world and gain their soul
