The Cartographer’s Niece

The Cartographer’s Niece

🌏

The world is round

this is how it spins

now put away those tears

Do I have to draw you a map?

It’s hard to be a girl

when you’re busy

trying not to be a bad boy

it’s hard to wear a world

that doesn’t fit

~

The world is flat

two dimensional tidy

Lines drawn are rules you see

where would we be

if we were free to bend them?

It’s sad to have a voice

that doesn’t speak

hidden in the lies

remains silent

while outside

the universe roars
