Middle of nowhere
Beginning of everywhere
The dream of a girl
With rainbows in her hair, and the moon in her eyes
Stardust shines on her cheeks
She is manic and broken and scarred
Her laughter hides nighttime tears
But they do not see that
She is the ghost of a girl
A figment in the imagination of a small-minded man
Seen only through the lens of a small-minded world
Of who he wants her to be
She will not be that girl, she is not that girl
She is flesh and blood
Heartbeats so strong they echo through the night like lions roars
She is not the Manic Pixie Dream Girl™ of their imaginary lands
She is...
Her.
Broken and sad and...
Beautiful, despite it all.
