Be the change you want to see in the world.


There is a word.
Four simple letters.
A simple word with four
simple letters.

I know a girl.
She's lost inside the labyrinth
of her life.
Constantly wandering.
Nobody to turn to.

~and she knows.~

She wishes she could have four simple letters
(a simple word with four
simple letters)
all for herself.

Oh, she wants to go home.
Why is nobody home>?
Don't know where she
belongs.
Lost inside a big world.

Can nobody find her?!
SOMEBODY-FIND-HER-!
So-ME-Bo-Dy show her
four simple letters.


Love?
no.
Think deeper.


Help.

oh I love this. I like the last four lines. The flow of the words is so simple but beautiful.
