Where've you gone?

That beautiful happy child,
Where did you go?
Blonde hair, as bright as the sun,
Almost as bright as her smile.
Eyes so clear and innocent,
Why have they greyed?
Her hair is no longer as bright, but darker now.

Where did that lovely personality disappear to?
The color in her eyes have drained,
Simply because the world isn't as innocent as she believed it was.
The once bright hair darkened,
Simply because there's so many reasons to be unhappy.

The world does not kneel to anyone.
The world does not smile to anyone.

Where did the strong little boy go,
Eager to become so great?
Where did the little brown eyed girl go,
Staring round eyed at this ' world of wonder'?
Where did the tall little boy go,
So sweet and gentle?

The strong little boy grew up bullied. He wasn't as great as he thought he was.
The brown eyed girl saw all the ugly in the world. Turns out it wasn't so wonderful.
The tall, sweet boy was thrown into war. The world wasn't as kind to him as he was to it.

The world bows to no one.
The world is kind to no one.
