There was chaos all around her
The constant motion of living beings
Alone in her own world
She felt like she lived on an island
A place unknown to the world
Very few had every ventured onto it’s shores
And no one lived there anymore
~
Her isolation grew
Because she refused to pursue
The care of people who didn’t
She would not succumb
To the overwhelming storm
The need to behave
Like sheep in a herd
She would stay by herself
On her island she would remain
~
But slowly she died
Of her own apathy
And refusal to think
“The world needs me”
Her body decayed
As her mind took it’s toll
Alone on her island
Unknown by the world
~
But she couldn’t see
Or wouldn’t believe
The walls that she built
Were all crumbling
And the people outside
Were trying to save
The girl who survived
Away from real life
Alone on her island
~
When the walls were all gone
Her kingdom exposed
A land of remorse
And should have done more
The people all asked
“Why they hadn’t seen”
And everyone said
“She was so close to me”
But it was too late for her
Her body would lay
Til the end of all days
Alone on her island
