You got to risk it to get the biscuit.


She wants to keep everyone together
She loves everyone and likes keeping them together
Or she did like keeping everyone together

It’s time for her to stop
She’s no longer going to be the bridge, that’s over
People can walk through the crocodiles
And the lava
She’s a classy bridge, she doesn’t like to be walked all over

For a long time, the castle relied on her
But it was hard for her
Then the people relied on her
She was being walked all over, they said they needed her
It took her awhile to realize, they didn’t need her
They wanted her.

She didn’t need to be a bridge anymore
She didn’t want to be a bridge anymore, either.

She is not a bridge to be walked all over
She is strong and firm, and no one's bridge
In fact, she’s no longer a bridge
She’s whatever else she feels like being

Inspired by friends ironically, also it's about empowerment. :)
