Framed by a necklace, her drowning face

She stands up tall, high above
Despite the challenges, she stands tall and elevated, looking down on places she cherishes.
Looking down at them all, places she loves
Reflecting on and missing the desire to be awake or aware.
Misses wanting to be awake

Who will see her pulled taut?

Teaches you nothing, trust me

And stands right next to it, her dear
Tripping on her own tongue could symbolize difficulty in expressing herself or communicating.
The crows are knocking on her window

Tripping on her own tongue now
She'll never say their names

A penny for your thoughts

Now we're here in our tent
