In my world where there are no destinies No sorrow or death important enough To empty my days of joy This childhood innocence i have denied myself Has been there all along- I see it in my father's eyes As he gazes off into the distance, maybe Wishing he was in a different place with a different life and a different child And a bigger bank account I see it in my sister's eyes as She watches the boys on TV Wishing she was there with them And they'd look at her and see beauty She thinks she is devoid of it How can I help them and change their minds How can I complain when I am so ordinary So normal and smart and slightly on the plump side How can I complain when my life is so good? I see the sorrow of others and I feel so small Insignificant Inconvenient Unable and unwilling Selfish, different, obtrusive I want to disappear into my innocence Envelope me in it's warm comfort Like the blanket I had when I was Younger- |
