million and one

She had a million and one reasons

         _{But each one had its drawbacks}

    A girl with a heart on her hand

And a smile that could save the world

 

Eyes of fire

--Or sapphire

She counted her dreams

And wished

 

    Looking out of windows

 Screaming    cries of confusion

                     The tear that fell first hit her shooting star

 

The star with the sparkle

The one that was truth

 

Realities undiscovered

Mindless worries that        devoured her life

  Recovered from mistakes like terror

 

She shouted inner mindlessness

So the stars could hear her

 

Waiting for answers

And pondering all those questions

Signs that showed replies

Made her thoughts go steady

 

Still her heart raced

And thinking of all her troubles

Tears began to tremble in fiery eyes

Scorching her cheeks

 

   Fearful and unfound

             Running from nightmares and the haunting

Of a soon past

 

She had a million reasons

And just one more

That made all the difference

That built her future

It was the _{one in a million}

And one

" Looking out of windows
Screaming cries of confusion
The tear that fell first hit her shooting star
