she sits on a rock
by the lake
by the tree
she who is she
who used to be me
she thinks about life
full of hope and despair
funny how both
can breath the same air
but they can and they do
sure enough they are you
enter the beginner
strange
but not thinner
who’s sure that this world
has made her this sinner
she who is she
took the girl on her knee
but the girl pushed her down
as she strived to be free
she who is she
who used to be me
wonders if death
is the final decree
she’s been there before
alone
but not scared
there is no noise
it’s white and it’s fair
a bit of a void
she sits with me now
she who is she
she used to be
me
