Been standing on quicksand for a while now
But no, not yet will I succumb to this muck

Unconscious of my ignorance
I'd convinced myself that I was a part of that clear bonnie blue sky.
Merely looking up, doesn’t make you a part of it.
Will you dare to struggle,
Or will you wait until you eventually sink?

Clad in pink, asleep on her mum’s lap
Peacefully ignorant of all she will face one day
Chasing the ultra blue colour winged butterfly
Singing along with the world…
To think we were all that naive once

Take me back into that world of dreams
And no, don’t call me back from there ever again…

Tuck me in just once more daddy
And close the blinds so I don’t see the monsters outside.
Blissful again
Enough maybe to even stop feeling…as I continue to sink.

And miles to go before you sleep or rather sink ..
And hell dont we all yearn for lost innocence.
