she was a swan
dancing alone at the lake
dreaming about true love
hoping for the better life
they said, “she's beautiful” “she's pure” “sadly... she's weird, losing her mind”
she heard, she knew everyone talked behind her whispered something that should've not been said
her bright self darkened her smile faded her steps stopped
she was a swan who wondered how was life not been trapped in the box
she flew away wherever her white delicate wings brought her searched for enchantment of being free
