Im chained to my inner child,
A boy still young, free and wild.
Bound to endless energy,
And a love for life in abundancy.

He sees no evil and has no fear!
His heart and soul still so pure!
His innocence what draws me near!
A little boy so sweet and dear!

Because that boy turned into me,
A man now filled with cruelty.
A soul that weeps endlesly,
To the atrocious acts of humanity.

The man I am with darkness deep,
A malice heart that just wont sleep.
Because of all the hate I see,
I’m creating new atrocities.

My life now ruled by hate and rage,
A murderer, yet still I’m caged.
They say that wisdom comes with age,
But wisdom fuel my heart’s rampage!

So I long to be this child in me!
I long to love abundantly!
I long to be the boy in me!
Still innocent, wild and free!
