How am I?
I'm fine...

Hidden under a hat and a somber exterior,
I wonder what you have locked inside...

I remember a time when it was ok to question,
To ask why that girl was a different colour...

Hidden under a hat and a somber exterior,
I wonder what you have locked inside...

Scared to go home, but scared to stay out,
Can't face the arguing, the accusations, the hurt...

Locked in the confines of routine,
Imprisoned by the shackles of society...

God is the luminescence of the moon's glow,
God is the way the stars always shine...

I saw you last night.
You were at home...me? outside...

When I was with him I felt in such bliss,
I felt safe, secure and never alone...

Everything is misty and I can't hear a sound,
I seem to be floating just above the ground...

Never intruding, yet always right there,
Watching, guiding and supporting your soul...

The dewdrop perched atop a blade of grass,
The autumn leaf lying upon the ground...
