Surrounded by thousands of pounds of water she put there herself.
Tropical trees as green as can be with fruit more ripe and sweet than anything you've ever tasted.
Yet no one has ever been to this island.
Never took a bite of the fruit.
They've seen and they've heard, but for some reason she never gets chosen as the vacation spot.
Tourists never wander her trails and climb what would change their world.
Boats and fisherman pass by with maybe a glance.
Leaving her alone.
16 years they've known and she's been alone, with no one to share her magnificence with.
16 years without a single chance to let people feel the soft sand brush your feet when you walk at sunset.
16 years her crystal blue water, warm of happiness and filled with the remnants of extra rainbows, is left untouched.
16 years her high mountains, jagged cliffs, and hidden caves, wait for just one foot print to claim them.
She doesn't feel alone. She doesn't feel abandoned.
But unappreciated. Looked over. Pushed away.
just unused...
An island. So small, so beautiful.
Surrounded by thousands of pounds of water she put there herself, because someone told her "it's better this way".
But it is about to change.
