Sunday Muse --- Decisions

Alone 

I am alone 

It's where I want to be 

Alone in the world 

A world where 

I've not found 

A place for me 

I am dressed for party  

But there's not 

A party for me 

People are there 

People I don't want to see 

I want to be 

Alone tonight 

I was a boy 

A fair boy 

A boy who wanted 

He wanted to be a girl 

So now he's trying 

To see how it goes 

Shoulders bare 

Nails painted red 

Hair coarse and 

fairly straight 

Feathered Easter hat 

Borrowed for the night 

Shoes,  flats that don't fit 

Party was for me not 

Tomorrow night 

A hippie girl I'll try 

Hair is long enough 

Jeans with holes or

Cutoffs strings and holes 

Sleeveless shirt to wear 

Painted toenails 

Match my fingers 

Then I won't be alone 

I'll find my old crowd 

The part that stays 

They're sitting on 

Loading docks for 

trucks during the day 

They'll take me in 

Won't care if 

I be boy or girl 

I hope 

Those Hippie Days
