When You Were New

I lost you In masks skewed By society The smile I long to see That child so free Now hidden Twisted Forbidden From me Who made you forget Who you really are? Someone else An ideal False ego A fake id Remember play Timeless joy Greeting the day? Just you and me As we were An abundance Of worth We'd just be Why'd you go Leave me alone? Into faking Until making Where the making Is to deceive Imaginary I now imagine Us as we Imagine you with me When did you turn Into someone else? Into someone else? Once caring Loving Daring In harmony That child Judged not Gifted smiles Without a fee Who turned you Into someone else? Into someone's lie? A path not yours Inherited destiny Long gone Dogmatic lies Passed down In misery Mad customs Sick culture Took you From me Will you return To play again? To play again? Release deception. Breath free Be you with me Be you with me Come home To your core; To the you That I once knew That I once knew To the you That I once knew When you were new
