Elsewhere

I love the time and in between

the calm inside me

in the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a

distance I have wandered

to touch upon the years of

reaching out and reaching in

holding out holding in

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as I can be

left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break

free

the mold that clings like desperation

oh Mother dont you see I've got

to live my life the way I feel is right for me

you says is not right for you but it's right for

me...

I believe...

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand
