Rewind

Music meets poetry in this poem/song, sing it with your own rhythm x

I wish that I could press rewind, go back to a time,

When things weren't so different, and I didn't have so much on mind,

The past I've left behind but haven't said goodbye,

I keep on ruminating, can you hear my cry?

I just want to go back then, back when,

my mother held me close, I never should've let go,

I wish I'd cherished it more when she coddled me,

Didn't know one day she'd leave,

It was just after Christmas day, she moved away,

And got remarried.

See this is the life I never imagined, the one I'd never pictured,

Call me triggered,

Yeah, call me what you will,

Life's a bitter pill and I'm having trouble swallowing it,

Wish I was a kid,

When did things get so different?

Now everyone's bickering, I can't stand this ignorance,

Everybody's ignoring their problems, yes,

People are so belligerent,

Life isn't what I expected, yeah,

Life isn't what I expected.

Innocence can only last so long,

I was eight when I lost my mom,

Never did make it to prom,

At 14 my emotions exploded like a bomb!

Now look at where I am at,

Stuck in a rut,

Unable to stand up,

I've been pushed the last time,

Watch me down here as I cry,

Not out for help 'cause there ain't none to cry for,

I'm just gonna stay down here on the floor,

I can't take no more,

This kind of life just ain't what I was hoping for.
