A distant shore of love forever more


Waiting for a smile to apaear on her face

Slowly walking at a tedius pace

The same senario of fighting heard so many years before

While I step into another apartment door

Moving once or twice a year

Becoming used to being queer

Fighting and dreaming to stay

In a single space not leaving today

New people try to make friends with me

but they fail to really see 

My rocky past and unstability

Show a pitiful and shy ambiguity

All I desire total freedom

to have absolute power against feeling numb

A destination far from my world, stumbling

 Instead a life forgotten and crumbling

Single mother who can not hear my pleas

To stay away from charmers who bend their knees

I will wait my for my home on the distant shore 

Where endless stepdads and fights occur no more.
