Difficult Times

I sing of a time usually full of innocence and youth
of happy memories, loving smiles
carefree wondering through mind and body
to enjoy life and to embrace it
this is not the way this melody goes.

I sing of hopelessness and uncertainties flashing in my mind
of wrong and rights or the correction of both
questions to who you truly are
that hollow whisper in next to my ear.

With constant wondering in reality or not
the voices that sounded around me or those that did not
within ones self, unknowingly
I watch as though a film play before me
am I part of this life; I question?

I sing of a time so concerning to me 
the vivid flickers that show 
the beginnings I'd rather not see
this ways the beginning of my melody!
