Icy Refuge

Icy Refuge There is a place I often will go That cuts a path in the snow The frozen creek, silky and white I slip and I slide and I dance with delight Try as I can and try as I might To escape the world I know Far from their cruelty, away from their world No bullies around, they know not where I go To the place out of reach and I can be me My refuge the ice where I spin with such glee I lie on my back and I look through the trees And escape the world I know I feel in my heart, out here I belong I wish I could stay, but the day isn’t long Boy liking boy, I’m told this is wrong This is the world I know
