CAN NEVER BE REPLACED “


Innocence was a feather that I kept inside

Always giving me warmth and pride

A fire that burned brightly in my eyes

There was no fear as I faced the world and tried to fly

That was before darkness came

And took everything I had inside making me the same


Darkness had been watching me

With a sick seething jealousy

Devouring the innocence that was inside

It made me as it was empty and void of life

Watching in fear as it gripped its knife

I tried to run I tried to hide


Day turned into night making me blind

My smile turned upside down

Now the jagged hateful frown of a circus clown

There was only one place that was safe

The other side of the clouds

But it was already to late


The Years came and went blown by the wind

I was a kid not a horrible sin

The tears I cried only hid the grief

they never could cover the disbelief

The path I’m on is dusty and well used

Walked by all the kids sexually abused


Wondering aloud to myself and to no one at all

Will it protect me? This wall?

Looking over the cliff I jumped to fall

The only way to get to the ground

I opened the door without making a sound

Darkness is so loud it never stops screaming

...and I…

I never stop dreaming.
