Childhood

Fairies, princesses, wizards, and a dragon

These are the things I carried in my childhood wagon

Having adventures and fun

Until the day is done

I played dress up, I played princess

With my dolls I blew kisses

Making friends, boys and girls having fun

I never matters when you’re this young

Unknowing of the future, of what it holds

Not really caring about what I am told

Then I grew older, went down a new path

Just to find out it’s powerful wrath

The darkness of reality later set in

When I learned about life, loss, love, and sin

Those impossible dreams inside your head

Will be crushed until they are completely dead

Feelings towards others are not always the same

Most of the time you just end up in pain

Friendships and relationships, all too easily broken

The cold and heartless would trade them for a token

It never gets easier, though some days are better

I’ve always been so delicate, just like a feather

The darkness really got into me

I was completely encompassed, eventually

The words of the dark come out as a sharp knife

They might cut you too deep and take your life

Couldn’t move, couldn’t think, couldn’t eat

To the darkness, I was just fresh meat

I watched myself bleed, breaking my promise as the blood drips down

I did this daily, trying to hide my frown

No one knew the pain I felt, the ones who hurt me most

They were like a parasite and I was the host

I went slowly up, and quickly back down

All my pain and sorrow soon to drown

It was over and the darkness had won

The lightness of childhood had come undone

Looking back at my life, it seems like a crime

As my wagon of childhood is forever lost in time.
