Is someone there?
Are they looking for me?
I seem to have become lost
in this picture-perfect town
filled with more mannequins than the local mall
and more stone-cold men than the city of Rome.
I roam these streets and what halls I can find
just hoping to see a light
but there is none.
I am alone
in this dark abyss.
Will someone come?
Do they know I am gone?
Or are they blind to the fact
that an intelligent girl
can run as wild and free
as any man?
For years I have been drifting
aimlessly away.
Days turn to nights and I am still going,
just hoping that I can find someone.
Anyone to save me.
