Story Of A Girl

There once was a girl
Who had fire red hair
And will of iron and stone
Who went out looking
For the one thing she couldn’t find

She searched in the houses
Of the ones she used to know
The ones who she once conversed with
The ones who once accepted her

And she looked in the basements
Of which she was confined
Of which she was cast off to
Where few knew her name

And she looked in the attics
Where all who were once great
Were now forgotten
And cast off as she once had

And she searched for this thing
In every nook and every cranny
In the cobwebs and the dust
Of forgotten books

And she looked for this thing
In the ripped and torn pages
In the numerous volumes and editions
Of these forgotten tales

She came across a story
That caught her eye instantly
A tale of love and devotion
A tale of truth and pride

And it was in these pages that she found
The thing she had been searching for
The thing that had been eluding her
And she smiled to herself

For this story was one of a fairy tale
A fictitious tale
Of things non existent
Of things one can only dream of

And it was in these pages that she found it;
The answer to life and every thing in it
The answer to all her questions
The thing she had been searching for

There once was a girl with fire red hair
Who spent her whole life searching
For the one thing she couldn’t find
The one thing that was actually in her grasp
