Child

Child

I was merely a child in an ocean of dreams,
They supported my heart, or so it seems,

I had wishes of gold, of love and of life,
I dreamed of reaching imaginable heights,

But as I aged from child to unpredictable teen,
I found that those methods wouldn't work for me,

Surrounded by gossip and bundles of lies,
Everything changed before my eyes,

The world wasn't beautiful any longer,
It seemed, as I aged, my eyes grew stronger,

I found that the world I knew as a child,
Was simply a world that had been defiled,

It was no longer vast with wide variety,
Everything lost, a broken society,

I was caught in the mist of the battle at hand,
Where we fight for nothing, where gold is sand,

We're so common, so boring, everythings real,
No one gives but everyone steals,

I wish that my eyes were still dull and grey,
So my child-like heart couldn't see today
