Help Me! The Sky is Falling!
Shadow's boxes flicker in the walls.
Lonely stars in the sky,
so far away from what seems,
what has always been home.
The wind stirs outside his window,
the boxes rustle...
"There are monsters in the shadows, Daddy."
or was it -
"You are a monster in the shadows Daddy."
Peering through the eyes of the midnight sky
I see myself,
reflected in silvery hues,
somewhere where no one can
harm me,
where no one can
taunt me.
How can having a "life" be so harmful?
How can "losing" a son be so bad,
that you need to smother me?
HOW CAN I ESCAPE FROM THIS EDENESQUE HELL!?!
Help me! The sky is falling out from under me and I want the world to stop spinning for just a moment so that I can catch my breath and figure out what is so wrong with my life that I need to conform to their normal!
All I want is time.
Some time to myself,
where no one is around,
even just looking on.
All I want is to be left alone
for a while,
not lonely, but alone.
Just time to myself, alone.
Help me! The sky is falling! Stop the world 'cuz I want to get off! I know that the world isn't all roses and butterflies, princes and far off kingdoms, those things only exist in fantasy, in fiction. I know that you love me and want me to stay a child for a while, but I am no longer a child. I don't want to be a "kid" anymore!
I want...
I want my freedom!
The freedom to choose,
choose my friends,
when I want to come home
if at all.
Choose...
What I want to do with my "life,"
my career,
my goals, my morals, my lifestyle.
All that I have is yours,
but whose life is this?
It's my life.
IT'S MY LIFE!
Not yours.
