Different Worlds

There are times I think
I am just a little kid
A simple time when I never had to worry so much
The innocence of it

Then the nightmare wakes me 
It makes realize that I’m not who I need to be or who I am

We are of different worlds
Shouldn’t make any difference 
I cry all the time
Don’t understand what’s going on inside in me
What’s  worse is that I can’t
Can’t get you to see me inside

Shakes and the chills are blowing me away
I am so dark and have never been me
What happens now I feel is not up to me?
Will you open your eyes, your tears, and your broken heart? 
Show me the way

We come from different worlds
Mine isn’t so easy to explain
If it was
I wouldn’t need you
I’ll lose everything that I have
If you don’t even understand what I have to explain
