Decades Off
Changes immanent a key
Voices lost in puberty
Flounders all in uniform
Fearful of the social norm
You had no choice
You paid the price
What fell on your body
Like water and ice
Thrown from the channel
You struggle in air
Mind racing nowhere
You stand up and stare
Now decades later you pause and concede
All memories are phantom all money is greed
The child that you lost the only one true
In a spasm of fate youth was stolen from you
