Ducking and diving Bending and swerving
Chasing the thrill of flying high Freedom in my hair
Freedom in my space
Holding onto the ride
Like a child with a doll
Master of my destiny
Men stepped out of the carMere shadows in the nightThe slam of a doorThe glass on the floorThose sleeping insideUnaware […]
People laughing at me
Some say it looks funny
I don’t care
People stare
Eyes from behind
Whispers in the corridor
Is he the same?
Blonde feels the shame.
Lit by the fire
His face warm in the night
Holes in his socks
No place to go
No home in sight
Next day on the prowl
Like some hungry cat
Lean and tired
Forgotten by his family
I’m tired, dead tired
Walking to class
Left my assignment at home
Nearly missed the bus
Orders from teachers
Joe and me talk
His fight’s at home
No money to spend
His dad ranting and raving
Maths homework not finished
There’s beauty in the dark
Above the towering gums
The shimmer in the night
A gentle breeze that stirs
A million sparkles
The beauty in the stars
Sweet warm and wet
Slippery tongue
Flutters in the stomach
Hungry for more
What’s the point?
What’s the use?
Grey is how I feel
Black inside
Bury me alive
Leave me alone
Tears inside
Done to my bone
I thought you were kind
And a decent human being
I trusted you to be my friend
But the rivers of pain
Flow deep inside me
My broken heart again
I feel the light’s gone out inside me
The candle flame extinguished
The heart ripped apart
I need to know
That you still care for me
I need to speak out
The truth of what happened to me
I was used
I like the funny way she talks
With her tongue slipping out
Her eyes confide in me
We laugh and whisper in the night
Telling all
My best friend knows me
She likes me the way I am
Like true sisters
Everything’s changed
Empty inside
An ocean without a wave
A bird without its wings
She’s gone
And I miss her
We used to talk together
Talk about our problems
