Eager I was to see the world,
Which was rudely snatched away,
Even before I could sway.
My existence just whirled.
Why weren’t my arms unfurled?
Answer me my mother, why did you betray?
Why couldn’t I just stay,
With you, in your cozy abode, just curled?
What do I say my dear,
I couldn’t help, despite being so near.
I just wished to disappear,
As I couldn’t interfere,
And stop their madness and sneer,
At the sight of a girl right here.
