Long days of adventure, Longer nights of enjoyment
Mind full of hope, Actions full of youth
Dark skies rolling in, Sunshine fading fast
Hope falling slowly, Fear creeping in

Long days of adventure turn into dreadful seconds
Longer nights of fun becomes long nights of regret
Mind full of hope becomes a mind full of demons
Actions full of youth turn into strides of weakness

Dark skies rolling in become my everyday thoughts
Sunshine fading fast turning into the life I live
Hope falling slowly turning my dreams into a fake universe
Fear creeping in becomes the feelings I feel

My thoughts
My actions
  My beliefs
Forming to make me
   
Forming to make me
My freckles
My smile
My  eyes
