This is a song I wrote, about the VFD schism. Each verse is told from the perspective of a different character, two adults and two children, and two people on each side. You’ll have to figure out who they are yourself. I will probably upload a performance of the song itself later.
Seeing me now, It’s hard to believe That I once was a child as misguided as she. Sweet, kind and gentle, I wasted my youth, But then I grew older and found out the truth.
Chorus: Schoolyard rivals, lifetime foes, Deceit and corruption is all that she knows. Grief and betrayal is all that she sees, but without any doubt, the two girls believe they are moving in the right direction.
A lifetime of suffering, death and decay. I worked through my childhood, had no time to play. I tried to be noble, the world did me wrong, I don’t know if I can hold on very long.
Chorus.
Forced to be perfect, forgetting myself, Gathering dust like a toy on a shelf. The past is behind me, I’ve nothing to fear. I lost all I had, but I won’t shed a tear.
Chorus.
Through chaos and evil I fought to survive, But now I’ve found somewhere I’m sure I can thrive. I hold on to the memories of days long ago, When happiness triumphed and knowledge could grow.
Chorus
Bridge: Will peace be found, they’ll never know. Will hope and truth prevail? Or in this cruel, conflicting world, Is Justice doomed to fail? One side lives off ambition And the other lives off hope. For if we all fought fire with fire The whole world would go up in smoke.
Schoolyard rivals, lifetime foes. Deceit and corruption is all that they know. Grief and betrayal is all that they see, But without any doubt, they’ll always believe They’re the heroines of their own stories Fighting for what’s true and noble Moving in the right direction.

Idk, maybe. I’ve gone off it a bit, I’m afraid.
