Natalie doesn’t live here anymore
Where did she go? Nowhere, she never went anywhere
So what happened to her?
She doesn’t live here anymore
Someone waltzed right in here when she wasn’t going anywhere and shot her
Someone waltzed right in and shot her dead
Someone with a gun and a motive came through that door and shot Natalie
And Natalie…
Natalie, head back against that sofa and blood oozing from her once beating heart,
Lay there…
Eyes blank, empty, lifeless,
She doesn’t live here anymore
Someone waltzed right in here and shot her dead
She died.
She was shot.
She is dead.
She doesn’t live here anymore.
So who is this?
Who is this you ask.
This, this is what became of Natalie
This is what became of the dead girl shot to the head and the heart
This is a reincarnation of a soul once trapped and now free
This, this woman you see is rebirth
She is reincarnate with all flaws erased and any stubborn enough to arise erasable
Flawless, yet possessing hauntingly beautiful imperfections
This woman you see is the soul freed from Natalie when she died
The body she was in before wasn’t the body she was meant to be in
The legend she was living out was no legend at all
It was all a tall tale,
A tale of tragedy and failure
A jest, you may go so far as to call it that
Now this woman you see,
This soul whose presence you cannot help but feel and revere,
This,
This is Sophie.
Sophie is an old soul…
An old soul who lived before time began, and who shall continue to live beyond the time that time shall cease to be time as we know it
Sophie is immortal, invincible
Sophie is eternal
This is Sophie.
Sophie is an old, wise soul…
Sophie is an old wise and powerful soul,
And Natalie…
Natalie couldn’t accommodate the greatness within this old soul
Natalie had to be killed
Natalie had to die to save Sophie
So Natalie died to have Sophie resurrect as she is,
As she once was, as she will be
She died the day she was shot down
Now Sophie lives,
She truly lives,
Sophie is here.
And here to stay, and to really live out the legend that shall indeed be Legend
Sophie is kindness…
Sophie is beauty…
Sophie is creativity…
Sophie is love…
Sophie is expansiveness…
Sophie is unlimited abundance …
Sophie is receptivity …
Sophie is all this and more
She is a god,
A daughter of the most high,
She is a queen destined to rule great kingdoms,
She is a warrior that will spew the blood of her foes in battle and come out victorious,
She is a peaceful warrior, for every war fought is a war that needed to be fought and won
She has royal blood racing through her veins,
She is regal, ambassadorial,
She is strong, a titan, a gladiator,
She does not bow down to tyranny and injustice,
Sophie is liberty and freedom,
Sophie is self-reliance and independence ,
Sophie is.
And as she stands before you owning a resounding ‘I am’,
Believe her…
Believe the words that come after the ‘I am’
Because they are true
You may have known Natalie…
And it may be her you came here to find
But, like I said,
Natalie doesn’t live here anymore.
She didn’t go nowhere, she never went anywhere.
No, Natalie was shot dead right there on that sofa.
She died eyes blank and blood oozing from her head and heart.
This is not Natalie.
Natalie doesn’t live here anymore.
Sophie does.
