When I was a kid


When I was a kid I used to have big heart, and then I learned the world wasn't a place for people like me

When I was a kid I had yet to learn the world was a harsh place

Step or be stepped on, kill or be killed

When I was a kid I learned that all too late

When I was a kid I had my heart broken many times because I felt to much

My heart was broken by people who didn't understand and didn't care

When I was a kid I cared too much, now I don't care at all

Now my heart is all sharp teeth and barbed wire, concrete walls and burning fire

My hands scarred with my own dreams I murdered, in an effort to be heard

I am no longer soft grass and morning dew, fluffy clouds and skies so blue

I'm gray clouds, dark and mean, I am a raging storm yet unseen

I am rough and jagged like the pieces of my shattered heart

I guess I'm partially to blame

Letting people in then shutting them out as they get to close

I've come to realize that I am a better knife than person

When I was a kid my heart was stabbed with the harsh truth of the world and know It's all I know

Stab or be stabbed

When I was a kid I saw the world for what It was
