Sunrise and Specs

She chose to walk a different path

Though others wondered why

Refused to look behind her

Kept her eyes up towards the sky

She chose to stand selectively

No need for earthly things

Saw those for what they really were

Nothing but puppet strings

She pitied every mushroom

For it would never be a tree

And as she longed for more than what she was

Up rose an inward tyranny

The stars, they say, stood witness

But the moon refused to tell

Of how this girl stood free of strings

And let go of all she held

Some saw her rise the sun for them

Some a spec to greet the dawn

But all those within the latter

Awoke one day to find her gone.
