The wise blood pulsed within her veins First the sixth sense and then the seventh Her mind was sick of self taught lessons The clock struck the tenth hour, and then the eleventh.
Her eyes saw colors theirβs could not But names had she not for their description The tint of wind and the hue of water They thought it her dumb and idiot invention.
She heard noise when they were deaf But she could not record or imitate the sound The music of stones and the language of trees They would not listen, for they spoke too loud.
She felt what they were too calloused too feel But she could not weigh or measure the touch The texture of thought and the surface of dreams They said it was madness and dismissed it as such.
She smelled the fragrances they could not smell But she had no perfume or cologne to match The stench of pain and the scent of hope They called her foolish, said her mind had been snatched.
Her tounge tasted tastes that theirs could not But no herb could she find to imitate the flavors The spice of music and the tang of peace They said it was merely her tears she savored.
Her heart had taught her everything Her mind to see, her nerves to feel Sheβd wished for a prophet, a teacher, a sage To show her that all that she knew was real.
But no philosopher would second her claim No scientist back her with reasearch and facts Her teachers all mocked her, laughed in her face And so she fell silent to cease their attacks.
Her newfound knowledge boiled within Bombarded, her mind was over wrought She sank into despair with hardening heart Lost without a soul with which to share her thought
As the clock struck the twelfth with a deafening clang She stepped to the ledge and looked to the sky A last sigh to the world, she drew a deep breath And in silence the seven-sensed girl leapt to die.
