Got my own

Got my own

My life’s a long tale
a tall story
of love and betrayal
that I did not fail.

I’ve got my own

I’m winding home
along the trail
with my eyes as wide
as a child’s

I’ve got my own

still open to the wild world
still tame.
I have come full circle
sailing the dangerous main

I’ve got my own

my voyage like baudelaire’s
full of joy and fear
oceans of pain
but I still feel the sun.

I’ve got my own

The uplands are home
I’ve left the downlands
I’ll live with love or alone
I’ve got my own.

I’ve got my own
