After all is said and done
I feel the same
All that I hoped would
change within me stayed
Like a huddled moonlit exile,
on the shore
Warming his hands a
thousand years ago
I walk with others in me,
yearning to get out
Claw at my skin and gnash
their teeth and shout
One of them wants only
to be someone you'd admire
One would as soon
just throw you on the fire
After all is said and
after all is done
God only knows which of them
I'll become
