Who is she?
The stranger asked
Motioning to the girl
Who's colored hair streams out behind her
As she gazes out over the water
She is nobody and everybody
I replied
Why is her gaze filled with such sadness?
Because she sees more than you and I
The stranger looked confused
She sees the world as it once was
And as it could have been
She appears happy and carefree in conversation
But you will never hold her full attention
That girl has one foot in this world
And one foot in another
Forever torn between the two
Forever feeling emotions from both
How do you know all this?
The stranger asked
I just smiled
Because, dear friend, that girl is me
