She Believes a Myth

Sailing toward the land where the sun will set
She discovered a myth from an old teapot

She believes the lie that is an old story
In the middle of the ocean, floating like an allegory

The wind hasn’t blown, the waves haven’t reached her yet
The sun still shines, darkness hasn’t come yet

On the surface of the water, she enjoys a momentary peace
The night holds a nightmare that she will experience

This pitiful girl cannot see her hope is fake
The blame for killing her, who will take?

Very foreboding and wonderfully dark, Felicia ... I enjoyed this very much! Rhythm, rhyme, and imaginative content, all! Keep up the great work, and have a good day! :-)
