HER
THOUGHTS
Worlds of joy and song and dance
Have withered from my sight
Will they again return to me
Or darkness shade the light
Time my friend and enemy
The days drag on with pain
My dreams are not concluded
And my struggle seems in vain
I see the sun-it knows me not
My world is gray and black
I want to live, I fight so hard
Yet it keeps fighting back
Just wait they said for sweet sixteen
A brand new life awaits
How right they were but didn't know
We can't escape our fate.
