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
