The Fearful One

I wish I may I wish I might,

Let me sleep once through this night,

Until I see the break of dawn,

And I do not feel so far gone,

Once upon a time they say,

There was a girl who went away,

She fled so far to reach the light,

She fought so hard in this merciless fight,

Though she never once gave up,

She couldn't swallow down the lump,

She did not reach her destination,

She got so lost in her designation,

She lost herself along the way,

And she never did reach the day.
