At full Mast
by Sam (aka me)

Their once was a fragile little girl
A mermaid with a string of pearls
Her skin pail from her weakness
even though she suffered, she stayed in happiness
she makes her way
loving each day
knowing her dream will never drift away
But she holds faith her resolved never swayed


Chorus:
While their achieving all their wishes
she's left sitting as their leftovers she fishes
Only to come up empty handed
Failure she feels left branded
As they all are swimming up stream
She's left with but a dream
 

She grows up dreaming knowing it will come true
Trying her best so the same will happen for you
And as she tries, never lies, wanting for you the best
Wanting, and waiting, never stopping for a rest
And how is she replayed
when her resolve never swayed
they left on their way
leaving her there to stay

Chorus:

Angel sweet angel, Lay your head to rest
thinking that some day you'll receive the best
accepting the insults hoping for the truth
thinking that their hatred is only further proof
that though you suffer each day
someday it will be repayed
So girl don't you think to sway
It'll all turn out Okay


Chorus:


As the days go by her resolve weakens still
Promising herself some day, just wait until
All her dreams will come true, if she stays forward
not looking at the past, but the future toward
But still as she helps people on her way
she feels her self weaken each day
"but its for the good" she would say
"The dream will come this is only delay"

Chorus:

But as she grew it never came
Here bitterness grew she was never the same
lying her bed, thinking of her past some
Tears welling in her eyes, knowing the dream will never come
So as she closes her eyes for their last
small glimpses rush on, flying by fast
seeing her dreams sail away at full mast
her only regret is the dream of the past
