The girl who dreams of darkness
Ran away
From people who kept her still
Went astray
When we opposed her will
The girl who dreams of darkness
Fears consisitency
And breathes the desire of pain
Always reistence
And long to lie down in the rain.
The girl who dreams of darkness
Tries to understnad
Unable to express her side
But only holds up her hand
To the howling of the moon inside.
The girl who dreams of darkness
Could never explain
Trapped the cultural demands
And so she drained
Like the monsoon through padi lands.
The girl who dreamed of darkness
Never the same again
After that month of monsoon
Her heart clung to the pain
But she walked to a different tune.

-Inspired by a small woman with a huge sense of adventure that I knew in Nepal.
