All I Want (For Christmas)

I don't think this is asking too much...

"All I Want (For Christmas)"

 

Presents and reindeer are inconsequential,

Decorated trees and blue lamps nice but

My world would continue without them,

Of silent nights and wintry wonderlands

I have more than had my fill.

 

All I want for Christmas is

A sky that's filled with stars -

One for every dream I've ever had

That since has left and found its place

Amongst the constellations,

A bright and flickering map to follow

Through the uncertainty of life.

 

All I want for Christmas is

A sky that's filled with stars,

A place where I belong -

Where the drum that I am marching to

Is not dissonant and out of time

But rather in perfect synchronicity

With an orchestra of outlandishness

And likeminded convictions.

 

All I want for Christmas is

A sky that's filled with stars,

A place where I belong,

A promise for tomorrow -

That through the hurt and rain of fire

Something beautiful awaits me,

Beyond this dark and choppy sea

A land of festive opportunities

More infinite than time.

 

All I want for Christmas is

A sky that's filled with stars,

A place where I belong,

A promise for tomorrow,

Someone who understands me -

Sees past my many inconsistencies

And flaunted insecurities

While bringing out the best in me,

Accepts me just for who I am

The muse, the mess and all.
