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

Beautiful poem Jason. Why cant everyone just let us be free to be ourselves? if we are different in their eyes we are wrong? they are the ones who are wrong.

Whoa, I must have totally missed the comments here. My bad, lol. I'm glad you liked this one Tim. And yeah, I wish more people would open their hearts to others who are different. Then, everywhere would be a refuge. (((Hugs)))
