That Was Then; This Is Now

Times have changed And so have I But not tonight As I close my eyes. Looking back To yesteryear I seek to find And face my fears. Where did I go What happened to me To lose the girl Inside I'll see. Stuck in my dreams Remembering the fun Don't want to grow old Forever young. Riding bikes Playing games Skipping rope Just isn't the same. Hanging out And partying with friends Came to be The usual trend. Ballet, Tap, Gymnastics too Twirling batons And flags I could do. Somewhere in time My identity swayed Age took over And turned my hair gray. Gravity also played It's part It took all of me Except my heart. So if you see my eyes are closed Don't wake me from my dream Cause living life for me today Isn't always what it seems.
