Drafts of the Soul

I Was A Kid

We used to believe that the world is full of colors

Rainbows, unicorns, and cotton candies in the blue sky

We never knew that someday there will be disorders

Some realized early, some lived with lies

As a little kid, I was supposed to be protected

But even God couldn't do so

Every single kid started to feel disconnected

And I was swallowed whole by the shadows

I was a little kid when you told me you loved me

But you left me in confusion and great agony

I was a little kid when you let me see

How the world works behind this balcony

I was just a kid and I couldn't understand anything

All I did was cry but all you do was getting mad at me

You told me I was a disgrace and cut my wings

I never asked to be born and kept you from being free

I was a kid when I realized the world is a dark place

Warm, glowing lights are kept from shining bright

When I tried to reach that thing from the outer space

You will try to stop me and call me a parasite
