I’m stuck in between
This future world
And my childhood dreams
A place where little girls have tea parties
And little boys have battles
And their laughter rules the land
Where cowboys and Indians fight and play
And fairies roam the sky
With their wings so high
A place with no stress or worries or care
Led by dreams and stories
And secrets I’d share
Where make believe rules
And imagination takes over
And this future cannot hurt me
Where love is shown with a touch and a kiss
And a mother’s arms
Brings comfort and bliss
A place where I’m loved and safe and strong
Where my only fear is of ghosts
Not monsters and people grown
I’m stuck in between
This future world
And my childhood dreams
Where make believe fades as reality comes
As dreams melt away
Imagination is gone
The cowboys and Indians no longer play
The fairies can’t fly
Not even one more day
Dreams no longer exist as fear takes over
The secrets I have
Must never be spoken
A place where stress and worries begin
As ghosts disappear
And monsters sneak in
I am no longer safe or loved or strong
Instead I am damaged and broken
Alone
Childhood laughter no longer rules
As darkness and sadness
Begin to fuse
The comfort and love has faded away
Danger, darkness and death
All take their place
I’m stuck in between
This future world
And my childhood dreams
Too afraid to move forward, knowing I cannot go back
For the childhood I dreamt of
Was a dream and just that
I grew up too quickly, the dreams disappeared
That man took advantage
And left me in fear
Monsters existed and nightmares came true
Love, comfort and safety
I never knew
I’m stuck in between
This future world
And my childhood dreams
This future is scary, not sure I’ll survive
But my childhood dreams
Begin to say their goodbyes
I’m stuck in this place that I do not know
All alone with the sadness
That grows and grows
I’m stuck with the memories, the fear and the pain
As my childhood reality
Shows its face
I’m stuck in the past and this future world too
I want to move forward
Begin a new
I’m stuck in this place, full of pain and fear
I’m stuck with a voice
People would not hear
I’m stuck in this place, I need to escape
To become unstuck,
My voice I must raise!
