Individuality In Excess
A fairy-tale princess girl
maybe six years old
a fierce independent
did not believe what she was told
She could understand time travel
believed in equality
worked towards a perfect world
but black dots were a mystery
A beautifully jaded gypsy girl
mostly sixteen-years-old
now she's tired of fighting
merely accepts what she is told
She disregards time travel
sees equality as a fence
laughs at her perfect dream world
but now the black dots make sense
