Someone You'd Admire

After all is said and done

I feel the same

All that I hoped

Would change within me stayed

Like a huddled moon-lit 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
