She watched their stares of curiosity
Transform from acceptance to neglect
Left alone, she knew it was because she
Wasn’t, what, they needed her to be

She wasn’t a normal girl
She was not accepted
She danced with the wind
She was oh so different
She laughed aloud at jokes unknown
She sang out loud the songs she wrote
And when she ran her spirits soared
Nothing could her cheerfulness lower

So this was the girl, all alone
When she’d had so many friends back home
She’d told herself, always be true
But it’s hard to be true when they’re laughing at you

So she stopped runnin’, she stopped laughin’,
She stopped singin’, she stopped bein’ happy
She fit in, she was accepted
She was popular, invited to dances
She forgot the things she knew before
Like the power of happiness
She no longer soared
Instead of flyin’, she crawled on the earth
Just another worm, eating the dirt

And as for the girl that flew…
She was lost for good.
