Like I Was Someone Else

I remember back to when I was younger;
I still believed in the things of this world.
My imagination would run wild,
The thoughts of just a little girl.

Faries would play hide and seek with me,
And unicorns would fly me to my dreams.
But all that now feels like an eternity,
It's like melleniums have passed it seems.

I can hardly remember that little girl,
The way her face always held a smile.
She believed in the impossible
While everyone held on to their denile.

That girl; she didn't know much about life,
Trusting her heart was all she knew.
She had her own world of happiness,
In her dreams she flew.

To a cloud in the great big sky
To a caslte inscribed with her name.
But then one day her castle crumbled,
And nothing was ever the same.

Faries and unicorns were in her past,
She left it all in her dream.
She was told about the real world,
And her fairytale was left in a scream.

That little girl grew up,
And stopped believing in her heart.
Because she knew the monsters of life
Would just tear her wishes apart.

I don't like the girl that I have become,
I wish I could go back to dreaming.
But I know that I can't ever;
Monsters of our world are always scheming.

I can sometimes hear her little voice
Echo inside my empty head,
"Drop all that silly work,
Come play in the castle instead."

I wish I could find my cloud,
In the very back of my mind.
Go back to then when it was simpler,
Find the remote and hit rewind.

But life won't let me do that,
It would smack me like an iron fist.
Because out here in our real world,
Dreams aren't aloud to exist.
