so many years ago.
too young to understand.
where the years would go.
drastically life was changed.
tragically innocence was lost.
as childhood dreams were buried
with reality's painful cost.
as days turned to years
and the years kept going by
doubts began to surface
as you recognized the lie.
pulled in all directions
left feeling used and cold
why, oh why, did you not listen
to the things you were told?
now there's no way out
the door's long since closed
you pace, you cry, you try to hide
as you realize this is what you chose
