The Girl Who Fell to Earth

To understand how she got here 

We must go back to the beginning

To the girl who lived to make others happy

To the girl who sank to hold them up 

To the girl who loved 

And lost herself to the ramblings of whom they told her to be.

She'd forgotten about her dreams for too long

So she thought to dream new dreams

To transform from the entropy of her making   

To leap into reckless abandon informed by fearless passion

To catch up with the dream she believed was running from her.

So she let go of all the words stuck in her throat

And let them cascade over the blank pages

In an intricately woven flow of locution

To pick herself up in these moments

To rediscover her place 

To find herself in the abyss of the cosmos.
