The Mermaid



Red hair blazing
Blue tail shimmering 
Behold her beautiful sight!
She's one of a kind 
Queen of the sea 
The kingdom at her command 
It was all very well
Till she fell in love 
With the other side
Paying no heed 
To accusations or deceit 
But on land things were different 
She did not know so then
The price she would have to pay
Swapping her old life for new 
But no matter how hard she tried
She could never fit in a world
That refused space for a soul like hers
In the end she returned to the sea 
Only to be shunned again
Broken hearted, 
She took her place among the stars 
Today, her teardrops can be found
In the form of morning dew 
On the grass outside... 

P.S. This has been inspired by the story of the little mermaid that I loved as a child.

    1. I know :( This is the version that I have. Unlike the Disney version, the actual tale is quite tragic :(
