THE PLIGHT OF A BROKEN SOUL
(THE SUNFLOWER QUEEN)
She has to smile, she must laugh
So people will think nothing's wrong
She doesn't know how long she can last
Behind that smile is a broken soul, suffering for so long
Ignored and unappreciated for her beauty and strength
She cries silently before she goes to sleep
Hoping for a change that never seems to come
Behind that laugh she eternally weeps
Hoping to be saved by life from beyond the sun
She has so much to offer but nobody sees
The struggle she goes through in her life
A soul suffocating that yearns to breathe
Trapped in frozen water, trying to break the ice
More amazing in ways she doesn't know
Because she was always told she was the worst
The darkness never gave her a chance to glow
When she smiles, sunflowers grow all over the earth
They rejoice because they know she's their mother
A green crown adorns her because she is a queen
But she doesn't know because of mistreatment from others
And she lives a lifelong nightmare instead of a dream
If she only know of her importance and worth
Maybe then she could hold her head high
If she only knew of her royal blood and she should be put first
Now that she's alone again, she begins to cry
All she wants is a hand to lift her up again
So she can rightfully sit upon her royal throne
If she knew how glorious she was, her wounds would mend
No one lets her know so she's suffering alone
Instead of being treasured, she's constantly ignored
Not treated the way that she so deserves to be
Because of that, her soul is broken and won't be healed anymore
And that beauty inside no one will ever see.
