hanging from the rafter,
just another kid.
abused for being different,
for daring to be!
the longing inside him,
the i inside me!
who are we to judge?
with our shadows and lies!
with every kid we lose,
our redemption dies!
the hate in the mirror
looks familiar as fear.
we dress false morality,
call the disease the cure!

i close my eyes,
for the smell that is faith,in the breath i breathe.for the kiss that gives,with a sparrow’s intentions.for the heartbeat in chorus,for soft fingers to close my eyes….waiting…. as the clock grows dim…can you feel me now?tell me you’re near!
