If I knew what it were like to be a child I would probably say Little rhymes with lilting chimes To get me through the day I wish I wish with all my heart I wish with all my soul That today I will not fall apart That I will soon be whole I wish upon a shooting star To mend my broken mind To remember what I was before The life I left behind But the only rhymes that I can make Ring with the saddened truth That I was robbed of the innocence That I had in my youth These rhymes don’t lilt like tinkling bells They crash like waves in the sea Because if you want a happy tune You best not come to me

I was once a piece of paper Which was new and clean Now i'm smudged with onyx ink Mottled with the obscene I was once a raging fire Burning in the night Now i'm a charcoal memory Of what was once so bright I was once a flower With petals fresh  and white Now i'm dead and shriveled And darkened with a plight I was once a small child Living without sin Now there are blackened prints On what was once my skin I was once a person A human that was whole Now im a hollow shadow A dark and foul young soul I was once so innocent But I can never get that back For someone took what once was white And painted it with black
