My place - by Sam

I long to be there - a place far away
Away from the hate and the pain.
I long to be alone at last
Without having to watch my back.

Overseas and far away
Where no-one else can find me.
Hidden well and happy again
Like I was before I grew up.

How I long to be where I can be young
Where I can have no cares anymore.
If only such a place did ever exist
Happiness would be in excess.

But this place is not real, it's only a dream
But one can always wish.
A hope perhaps will keep me here
And keep me smiling on.

I have my smile, it's all I have left
A memory of my youth.
But never again will I feel content
With my life, till it is no more.

But in my mind I will live in this place
And I will be ever happy.
For in this place I'll have two things:
My youth and my love for him.
