World of Ours (This)

Raped of their innocence,
they stumble through life,
making excuses
to go under the knife.
Escaping reality
because it's too much to bear.
Running away from home
but getting nowhere.
Safe-guarding their hearts,
afraid to be understood,
not at all acting
the way children should.
Playing the big shot,
but crumbling inside.
What would their friends think
if they knew that they cried.
Acting so cheap,
but worth so much.
Racing through life
in a rush to grow up.
What happened to little girls
and curly-haired little boys?
What happened to dolly's
and fire trucks and toys?
Gone up in smoke
literally, gone up in flame.
Such beautiful innocence,
now living in shame.
