I am no longer a mermaid.
Once upon a time I swam in the sea
And watched relationships sail past.
I saw lovers on land and I wished
to be part of that world.
I am no longer a mermaid.
I cast off my scales and my tail
And I gave up my voice
For no man, but for me
And I grew legs, long and lean and strong.
I am no longer a mermaid.
I grew a mane and a tail
And I set off into the wild
And I ran for so long that
My feet grew hooves.
I am a stallion.
I run free and solitary
I do not see the ocean any more
I see no people, no ships, no lovers.
I am free.
