Alive

by One Time, One Chance

I sit here alone and greive
Under the shadow of a caliginous tree
At the park where I used to play at
When probems meant nothing to me

But now I’ve grown too old
The slides are no more fun
Though I will not let my childhood go
I’d have to let go of a ton

Adventures to mysteries
To just simply being free
The lock to that world has not changed
I just need to uncover the key

But I’ve been brought into the world of reality
I’m afraid that there’s no going back
And the courage I’d need to get there
Has regretfully started to lack.

Raids, bombs, abuse and shootings
And wars, killings, terrorism galore
Things you couldn’t understand that young
All imagination would be torn.

So I stood up slowly off the ground
Uncovered the key and unlocked the portal
Into the world I so desperately want back
Here, where I can finally feel..

..alive.
