This song is about a girl who used to be caring and kind.  She was also really smart. But the older she got, the more she looked down the end of her nose at others.  Her friends, family, and everyone who ever helped her out suddenly became useless. So she abandoned them all emotionally.  Then, when she entered the workforce for the first time, with that same attitude,  she learned a really tough lesson;  if you treat people badly, you're going to be on your own. No one will help you once they figure out you're a user.  And when you can't fit in with others, you'll be out on the street, alone. In this case, co-workers left a broken crown on her desk on the day she was fired, mocking her for thinking she was a queen and acting like they were all her servants.  Maybe one day she'll learn that she should treat others with respect, caring, kindness, and love, the way others treated her before she became high and mighty, or what folks in the country might call, 'snooty'.  

[Lyrics]
She Abandoned Herself

[Verse 1]
She was a star in every class, so bright,  
Numbers danced like fireflies at night.  
Sweet laughter echoed down the halls,  
But now that joy is lost in her walls.

Once held hands with hope, now closed tight,  
A sky so clear, now a storm in flight.

[Chorus]
Oh, where did the girl with a heart go?  
Now she's just shadows, lost in the show.  
Isolation, wreckage of her own design,  
Once so sweet, now she’s crossed the line.

[Verse 2]
She climbed the peaks, now she looks down low,  
Forgot the roots where her kind heart used to grow.  
She shut the door on love, left it far behind,  
In her castle of pride, she's lost her mind.

A queen on a throne made of greed,  
Forgets that love's the only need.

[Chorus]
Oh, where did the girl with a heart go?  
Now she's just shadows, lost in the show.  
Isolation, wreckage of her own design,  
Once so sweet, now she’s crossed the line.

[Outro]
In the silence, she'll find her alone,  
With all her brilliance, she's lost her home.

I'm just creating music with the tools I have at my disposal, hoping the stories I weave will resonate with others. I have multiple albums out there.  "It's All About Family", is a collection of songs specifically for family members. "Songs from the Heart" is the start of my wife's album, since she's been bitten by the artistic bug.  I also have an album called, "Melodic MishMash", which are songs that weren't really for public consumption, that I needed a place to put.   Finally, the album that I am working on now, is my first country album, called, "Unloading Zone".  Please click "Library" to pull up each album and have a listen.  I'd also love any feedback.  Thanks.
