Childhood Memories

Through the woods I walked
Lies an innocent life I have lost
Animals move away in fright
As screams cut through the night
I dragged myself onto the lonely riverside
I wasn’t aware of the hell that will arrive
The wound I had made me quit
I lost that laugh, I lost that joy
Through the woods he stalked like a cat in the night
Oh what a sight
Demons chasing me around
Tree roots tripping me on the ground
I just couldn’t find my way around
This will never be right
How much longer shall I fight?
