No Escape

I'll spread my wings Spread them and fly Fly to a world unknown to adults A world well known by children As I take off to fly my wings of childhood get riped off An invisible force is pulling me down Down down down I go to the harsh realty Down to a place of pain and sorrow a place of work I close my eyes tight to escape the world Now I feel calm Now I feel safe I open my eyes to see that it's too late I've been sucked in to the harsh realty The realty known as life I now realize that this is no escape There is no way for me To be the child that I want to be
