You are born so full of life
Every day full of joy and hope
Time passes and the dreams fade
You look around at all that has gone
Never realizing what you have missed
Until it is too late to get back
You harden your heart and temper your soul
Never growing too close to anyone
Feeling alone and confused
Wondering if you are even alive
Perhaps waiting to die
You steel yourself for things to come
When you used to live just for living
Jaded and scarred you have become
Is there ever any going back
Or are you completely done
