Girlhood

There’s a person living in my skull But she once loved life out here She would run around for hours Kicking dust and chasing fear There’s a person who existed Used my body for her games She would laugh and play for hours She’s since seen some better days And sometimes I think I miss her Though I know she’s still kept close She hides away in darkened corners Oh how the vines of time have grown Child, please I know you’re in there Help me laugh and play once more I long for running and for freedom The ability to just ignore There’s a person resting in my head She is me but I’m not her I’ve fallen in, forgotten how to tread Without the innocence of a girl
