My hiding spot
I climb to the top and stay hidden
They can't see me...
No one can...
No one but her...
I'm all alone
Well...not quite since my thoughts are as loud and suffocating as any person
The sun pours over me
I hear the turtle doves
I see her playing in the pond
Up here I'm king- though I'm king down there, too
But up here I'm free
Free to say no
To shout
To yell and scream
To cry
To laugh
Up here I'm me...
That's all I've ever wanted
To be me...
But when I see the water nymph
I want to be a 'we'
I lay back and stare up
The burning sun is fading behind the mountains
The pinks, purples, yellows and oranges of the sky bring an ache to my chest
I want to share this with her
Up here I'm king of myself
Not of an entire kingdom
I don't have to hide who I am
On the roof of my palace, I live for real... the way I'm supposed to
And I know that I want to make her my queen- my Fire Lady
