LIKE OTHER HORSES 2022
WRITTEN BY NATALIE BROOKE
Look into the lake below
The water ripples slow across her likeness
Features all distorted
Eyes of grace, such a face
Wild and glorious mane
But she can't see past the mark upon her forehead
Oh, unicorn
You bang and chip away at that horn
Oh, so much scorn
Just wanna be like all the other horses
Shame swirls around her like a flame
Melting all peace away
Every moment tainted by the burden
Tired of dodging branches
And judgmental glances
Far away she's bound and determined
Oh, unicorn
You bang and chip away at that horn
Oh, so much scorn
Just wanna be like all the other horses
Spring ready to be unleashed
Healing the land, the sky, the sea
If only she could see
Embrace her destiny
But oh, unicorn
You bang and chip away at that horn
Oh, so much scorn
Just wanna be like all the other horses
She didn't know she was magic, and that very horn
Was the source, it's all so tragic
Now lying there on the floor
Oh, unicorn, you finally freed yourself from that horn
Oh, now you mourn the scar of magic left upon your forehead
You weren't meant to be like other horses
