Childhood me
am I who you wanted to be?
am I living all you've dreamed?
is it what it seemed?
the future was daunting
and now its just exhausting
childhood me
I remember running free
the world was big and bright
and now I hover in fright
childhood me
the world I don't want to see
I hide myself away
and wish for another day
childhood me
with a chance to breathe
I am not the same at all
I know you didn't want to fall
this abyss is rather deep
and I hate it but I'm half asleep, childhood me
I sit and I cry, wishing I was five
oh it was easy back then
back when
childhood me
young and free
take your time
and you'll find
you didn't turn out like you dreamed
the world isn't what it seemed
