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
