Alis Volat Propris

Thoughts like lead
I should be in bed
Drove instead
To clear my head

Naked in the mirror
What do I fear?
With happiness near
I still hold you dear

Done grasping tight
Gone is the fight
And it’s alright
Survive each night

Lamp post flickers
Shadow nickers
Old couple bickers
Buying new knickers

Boys always stare
Pretend I don’t care
Back in my lair
One day I’ll dare

Grey skies warming
Given no warning
No longer mourning
Shouting good morning

Today is tough
Never could bluff
But I’ve had enough
Of all your fluff
