Raven Girl

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Inspired by the Star Trek Voyager episode The Raven. This 'Raven girl' refers to Seven.



Two big men after you

The feeling of fear you're unaccustomed to

Seeing your parents taken

By those same creatures that you're hiding from

You're only a little raven girl

Spreading your wings in humanity

Your black feathers frightens the others,

You must show them

That you're nothing but a raven girl

As new to everything as the rest of us

And while looking these scenes as an adult

You still can feel the horror in your soul

Still, you're escaping from your rescuers like a lunatic

And running towards those that you are afraid of

And the only explanation you've given,

Is that "I am one of them"

You're only a little raven girl

Spreading your wings in humanity

Your black feathers frightens the others

You must let them see

That you're nothing but a raven girl

Carrying memories of your species,

You little raven girl

Why to embrace a nightmare,

Only because it's part of your past?

Wouldn't you tell us how

Wouldn't you tell us why

We're still trying to learn

Where we are supposed to fly

You're only a little raven girl

Spreading your wings in humanity

Your black feathers frightens the others

You must let them know

That you're nothing but a raven girl

1.1 That you're as vulnerable as the rest of us
