surrounded yet alone can be the most liberating place of all...
i stand alone
without a home
watching the last one find a bone
as onlookers cheer on seeking a new shone
but there is nothing that's unbearable no matter how bad or wrong
i once asked for another to see their reflection in me
asked were my tears cloudiness causing we not to see
no more tears no more begging and no more lies
or repainting the vision i see to prevent our goodbyes
a beauty exists within my heart that is overshadowing my whys
my eyes are open
my mind is not blind
i see it may be time to leave many behind,
don't feel like i'm lost
and do not choose a side
for in this world the gaps are wide
pray for the best
and seek to be blessed
holding those poisonous tongues
it only takes once to discourage the pain
of wars that are not yet done
so speak life and live love
let actions speak as bygones become bygones
for the truth has arrived
to override false happiness derived
from half hearted attempts at the norm
if it is peace that i want it is joy i should seek
to sit still in the pain is to prove i am weak
i stand alone
in a cloud of thrones
who wish to be shones
and have their bones
hidden inside my own
holding my words my thoughts and my belief
that the one who loves me will be my relief
from the hole in my heart from the tears in my eyes
His softest touch causes my eyes to dry
His gentles whisper clears up all the lies
the clouds that shroud me make things look like they are not
but i'm still in the middle for this is my spot
if i tell you my life you would wail and snot
how a ripened tomato just sat and rot
but there is no point to relinquishing my cot
i sleep in it, i made it and it is mine
as my glow from within causes me to shine
no peas for this princess no veil for this bride
i see through the muck in which many will try to hide
i speak on the visions that come from inside
I stand alone
what was to be hidden has not been shown
what i have reaped i have sewn
what has been tossed has not been thrown
but absorbed into the vast unknown
i step along alone
unscathed and with no moan
understanding the ways of the world
lessons learned from the bodies that hurled
as we are once again a boy and a girl
i stand ALONE
