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
