Maybe at Last
The green girl listens eagerly,
Eyes growing wider by the second with hope.
A chance to be recognized,
A chance to be accepted.
He will be colorblind, she is sure.
Like a food deprived child with a hot plate in front of them,
Waiting breathlessly for dinner.
Maybe at last she'll be sated.
/
She is full of love.
Her father, her sister,
Her country.
Fame is far from her only goal,
But also success.
Her mind's eye sees a joyous day,
And the mirth caused by her.
/
Little does she know that her dreams will be shattered.
Little does she know that the world will all but destroy her.
The greatest villain in the land,
Grinning broadly,
Sees herself melting,
But with joy.
