No One On Command

Everyone else’s girl,

And they look her way

(For a change)

And she’s frozen

To the chair,

With everything to say,

And everything to be,

But no words to be heard

On command.

Everyone else’s girl,

And what do they expect?

(Not themselves)

And she’s numb

To the core,

With everything to know,

And everyone to please,

But she’s not herself

On command.

Everyone else’s girl,

With no thoughts

(Of her own),

And she performs

For her audience,

But with nothing to tell,

And no one to know her,

She is all but lost now,

On command.
