I've been robbed,
Not of material possessions,
I've been robbed,
Of my childhood and innocence.
I have no memories
Only the facts.
Did I climb trees?
Or play with jacks?
I can't remember if
I had a favorite teddy bear,
I can't remember when
I learned to share.
In ways I'm still a child.
I'm not sure if I had friends,
Or if I ever smiled,
Where one memories begins or ends.
Bits and pieces are all I have.
Was my childhood happy?
Was it all very sad?
Are you sure that was me?
We moved around
but did I
Make a sound?
Did I cry?
Did I ever stand a chance?
When did I first talk?
When did I first dance?
When did I first walk?
Will I ever have it back?
