Maybe if you could see me

Pink polka dots

Running through the field

Whispering tomorrow’s to all my flowered friends

Maybe if you could see me

Strawberry blonde hair

Flecked with gold ribbons in the swirling sun

Dancing to the summer winds breezy howls

Maybe if you could see me

Big brown cow

Cornfields all around

Staring at the clouds making pictures on the ground

Maybe if you could see me

Walking down the dirt road

Singing to the world

Little muddy feet

If only you could see me

Powder pink goodbyes to a forgotten princess

Left in the cold dark shadows

Questioning everything

Losing sight

Always fearing

Never understanding

If only you could see me

See my tears

Hear my screams

Feel my pain

Breathe the pollution taking up space inside me

If only you could see me

Then maybe you’d see
