Indie Girl

Indie Girl
She wore headbands on mondays
That match the morning sky
She wore jeans every Thursday
Excited bout Friday fries
And every Friday afternoon
She’d lend me new eyes
And tell me these stories bout pretty butterflies

She wore t-shirts and sneakers
Didn’t care bout no dress code
She was the kind of popular girl
That people bragged to know
But nobody saw her quite like I did
Her smile lit up the hallway
In spite of fighting kids

She wrote poetry and talked to me
Bout dandelion fuzz
She loved earring and piercings
But never got them done
And every Friday afternoon
She stared at the falling Sun
And told me these stories
Bout where her life begun

And she said
All I want is peace and nothing more
She said love is beautiful
It opens every door
She said even if she left me
She’d visit me in my sleep
And there went my indie girl
Out to live her dreams
I hope you’ve found your peace

She laughed loudly and proudly bout
Whatever made her smile
She told girls they were beautiful
Even when they called her vile
She didn’t have one bad intention
Throughout her entire mind
And she always stopped to read
Every single drive through sign

She ran 5ks but some days she’d lay across the floor
And tell me how pretty my drawings were on the door
She never spilled a secret
But listened to everyone’s song
She told me she heard their harmonies
So she always sang along

And she said
All I want is peace and nothing more
She said love is beautiful
It opens every door
She said even if she left me
She’d visit me in my sleep
And there went my indie girl
Out to live her dreams
I hope you’ve found your peace
