Yet here I am

See the candescent lights infuse the leaves,

Everywhere that golden glow, it calls me,

To sit under, majestic banyan trees,

So it seems, that I’m in a pixie’s lee.

I am hidden now, the world, it floats on,

There are so many people, so close by,

Yet here I am, safe held in the bosom,

Knowing that I can release my soul’s cry.

My inner torment, it bubbles away,

Struggling to get out so I am free,

When all I long for is just to be gay,

All my worries gone, just free to be me.

I long for a life of joy and wonder,

My old life to be gone, no asunder.
