sight isn’t always necessary

She set out on life with some terrible news

That the dreams she had dreamt were a lie

And she took that with her to the end of the road

Where she had to sob her good-byes.

Into a world of cynical people

She walked among them in a daze

Knowing that this was not the life for her

In her eyes you could sense growing craze.

She realized her mind was stronger than that

The first day she stood on her feet

An end was near, and her future was clear

This was not a mistake she’d repeat.

So the gates slowly opened and she stood by the bars

That had kept her at bay from the world

Unleashed, she stepped forth

Took one glance behind

Finally her dreams were unfurled.
