No Going Back

One missed opportunity
To retreat back into the womb from despair
To live in the warmth and care
In a bubble once loved and shared
But by force pushed away from my dreaming
I came in  kicking and screaming 
Oh please oh please 
Hear my desparate pleas
Please send me back 
I will beg on my knees       
But such is my lot 
Like it or not
Thrust deep in the mayhem
With nary a thought
Im left to face just one fact
There's no going back.
Once you depart from the light
Life slowly fades to black

Ha, no going back. I like the imagery plus, the kicking and screaming while being pulled out from the comfort. However, I don't know if I agree with the end. Unless I'm reading wrong. We enter a journey, with stones, puddles, and heartbreak. Once we exit the second time, everything comes to a complete stop, then our destination back into the womb of bliss slowly gives us the opposite of what we once had. Linda
