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.
