Been floating for so long
Head in the clouds
Never before did I have to look down
I’m not used to walking around
My legs are weak and buckle beneath me
And real life is now my reality
The home I knew has faded away from me
I don’t recognize this place
And I don’t recognize these faces
Even the air is different
The world I knew is in pieces
And I’m afraid
And I’m alone
I want so badly to return to my home
But I cannot and that’s okay
I think I am better off this way
I must venture on
I need to embrace this change
Although my life will never be the same
I must change
I must grow
No longer can I live my life in the shadows
Hoping for the day to come
Praying for things that may never come
So I will be strong
And I will hold on to my memories
But I cannot be who I used to be
All alone
And a long way from home
Is where I belong
