Child of Mine

My head’s in my hands

As I cry out for you

I really wonder this time

If I will make it through

 

Broken and cold,

Sad and made of stone

My heart is still with you

Even though I’m alone

 

Begging to escape

From deep inside of me

Is the broken little child

That you are about to set free

 

If I let that child out

Who knows what it will do

It’s been caged for so long

Its brain is all askew

 

This child of mine

Isn’t like most

It’s not carefree

Its spirit is very morose

 

 

 

 

This child of mine is shackled

Yearning to break loose

To wreak havoc on my life

And try to reverse the abuse

 

So say I let it out

How will it stop it

From releasing years of emotions

That before, I could never admit?

 

Well out comes this child of mine

It’s finally free

Just make sure you help

To save me from me.
