Where I Belong

Was it a dream Because that’s how it seemed Is this a place I belong Or a transient stay, a line in a song. Like fallen dew in the morn. I was so wrong This is where I belong As sure as light follows dawn Im staying here til ive shorn All my years and my tears Filling rivers and ponds Drawing lines in the sand. As the night sinks the sun I embrace demons I’d shunned But still I’d nip at my skin Praying to wake O how silly to think all it would take is a pinch When id taken a punch Punch after punch, at the back of the head On the small of my back Sat at the back of the class I think of a ruse To hide where ive bruised. This is where I belong. My place in the park where I sit in the dark In the light of the moon My guide in the thick of the night The thick of a life where darkness is rife. Still I cling on to hope As I swing from this rope - Tied to a tree. At times in my sleep I see a rope around me But this is where I belong So I breathe; carry on. For the sake of my mum For a future I want For a love that can run For a daughter, a son This is where I belong In the light of the sun This is where I belong
