Away We Go

In the streets, we walk alone
Down, down, low, away we go.
The stars, they only taunt us.
Up so high, dancing in the sky.

I want to seek their comfort.
I want my body cradled.
Down, down, low, away we go.
Walking like outcast.

It's because i'm different
It's because we're different

"How dare you bring yourself around here.
I don't like your kind"
We're just like pariahs,
Looking for each other.

Down, down, low, away we go
Again, I feel rejected.
Again, I'm a disgrace.

The only thing we wanted,
Was the feeling of home.
Home, that was so long ago.

Very powerful! I hope you have found home and that you look up at the stars and realize that all that you imagine is within your reach. Very well written and heart felt piece. I will read a few more before I go.
