Arya

Read along

Read along

They all sing

Not today

Not today

They all reply

Read along

Read along

Is what they told her

I can't

Was her reply

Arya was not normal

Arya was not average

She didn't draw the sun in the corner of the paper

She didn't count aloud

She got her answers wrong

She stared out the window at the green

Her blue eyes longing

She wantd to jump right into the sea

But people told her of belonging

In different places

Places on land

They said her dreams were silly

They said she was wrong

Was she wrong?

Maybe

But she was only wrong at what you taught

She knew of the ocean

She knew the color blue

She could describe all the shades

If you just listenned

She may not be smart

In math or reading

But, if she were taught art

She'd be smart

Of course, we can't have that

Can we?
