Ego Issues
Afraid of her shadow
Scared by her voice
Unsure where she'll go
If burdened with choice
She danced to the beat
Of the most fickle drum
Shifting her feet
Biting her tongue
A rebellious disciple
Imagination too grand
A reluctant rival
Avoiding the stand
Haunted by mistakes
Shamed by imperfection
She'll cease to be great
If she shuns her reflection
But she's open ears
To all who speak
Gullible to her peers
Too confused to think
The girl with no voice
The heart that tells all
She was granted a choice
But an ego too small
