That child I was
So full of dreams
Once so alive
Now lost it seems

I don’t know where
My future went
I don’t aspire
My fervour’s spent

I don’t know what
I want to be
I used to once
Now I can’t see

I want to aim
I want to hope
I must remember
How to cope

This child I am
Devoid of dreams
Barely alive
Worn at the seams
