Normal People
Nellie was a star,
Only one shining;
Ray of sky light.
Mountaintop experience -
Alas, she was
Lonely at the pinnacle.
Pointed, sharp, stabbing her heart.
Everyone looked up, “Yes, Ma’am.”
Once she made her way down icy paths,
Plowing her way toward the valley;
Leaving for anonymity. No one knew her.
Everyone loved her. She built a home there.
