She stared out into the world,
Blue eyes wide in wonder,
She was curious and joyful,
She thought everyone was as kind as the calm water,
She perched upon her rock
Hoping to become like them,
Wishing to frolic on land like them,
One day, she made her dream into a reality.
There was a new girl in town,
Who they say was from the sea,
They say she used to laugh loudly and smile brightly,
She used to try so hard,
But no matter,
She was not content with trying to be like them,
Now she stares vacantly,
Her eyes gazing at the sea,
Mourning the loss of her individuality.
There was an old girl who went home to the sea,
She tried with all her might to make her dreams come true,
She thought that if she looked like them happiness would find her,
She thought that life would be easier,
And that she could fit in,
The creatures say she is different now,
She used to be vibrant and care free,
Now they say she is just physically there,
There was a girl who tried,
She tried to change herself to be like the others,
She changed her appearance to be like them,
She changed her life, yet nothing clicked,
After some time, she gave up,
Turning to the mirror to see a girl,
A girl who looked familiar, but no longer resembled her,
Now she wept, mourning the loss of herself.
