What do you see?

The girl with the eyes of blue

Do you see me?

All the pain that I’ve been through?

Or do you see the other?

The one who will save you all

I never had a sister or a brother

Just as well, Ashes are so very small

Mama and Papa died for me

Our village went up like a funeral pyre

And you still don’t see

I feel like the world’s biggest liar

The prophecy upon my head

I can’t possibly be all that

I’d rather be dead!

And on her oaken throne she sat

Her words making me feel so very small

“She is the One”

And they are all so very tall

I long for the moon to replace the sun

No-one hears my silent cry

“Why me? I’m only nine!”

And no matter how hard I try

I am bound to Destiny for all time
