Stranded

Surrounded by gum trees, 12 years I’m finally free.

12 years I was trapped, when I was found everyone clapped.

After a while I got used to it, although I did miss everyone a bit.

I had to learn how to fight, it got quite scary at night.

Stranded on an island, searching for a diamond.

The sand was hot, at last they came in a yacht.

I had to build my own cabin, so many things to imagine…

Some of the days were lonely, on those days the time passed slowly.

Other days the time passed fast,

Freed at last…

I am glad to be off the island, now I will forever stick to dry land.

There are some things I might miss, but that’s okay because I am full of bliss.

My new home surrounded by plants, I’m glad that I now have pants.

I’ve managed to get a job, I got help from my friend Bob.

Life on dry land is good, although sometimes I am misunderstood.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed in big crowds, so I take a deep breath and look at the clouds.

I love to climb the trees, and also hang out with the bees.

At night I like looking at the cars, and during the day I just watch the cars.

I have many friends, but I realised some of them were pretend.

So many days out at sea, finally I am free…
