A Ten Year Olds Heart

A tired cry
A battered heart
A young Useless lie
Right from the start

Weary attempts
Just to be broken again
Take my hand
Bring me back to ten

Before teen years
Before heartbreak
Before my fears
And this stagnant state

Don't leave me here
Dear, please rescue me
Before this very plea
Back to ten year old me
