Being realistic wasn't in her dictionary. Always imagining things that weren't even imaginable to others, not even in a child's mind. She was young and foolish at heart but her body was way past that time. Grown up at sight, but inside it was way less age at heart and soul.
Head still in the clouds from lack of childhood that she had never gotten back. All the years she spent following her foster parent's rules to be this beautiful young lady, putting on all types of makeup and clothing to be in pageants and modeling shoots. She wasn't allowed to go out and play on the swings, nor to play kickball or even have toys. No. She had to put her childhood on hold.
As she grew older her heart got as big as a beach ball, taking in everything around her. She could be anything in the world. A model, an actress, a singer, a dancer, a lawyer, a doctor, absolutely anything! But out of all the choices in the universe, she chose to be a Girl with her head in the clouds.
Everyday her parents tell her she's not going to get anywhere being an adult child. She shakes her head in disagreement. "You told me I could be anything I wanted. This is what I want." How could her mind be grown up but her heart so child like. She has dolls now, with a pretty pink house. She has a bike and a skateboard, even has a pacifier. What is wrong with her you might ask?
Nothing. Nothing is wrong with her. She's just living her life in reverse. She had to go through adulthood as a child, now she's a child in adulthood. And she wouldn't like it any other way. You know why? Because I'm the girl with her head in the clouds.
