Her open eyes just can’t believe
the kids that play outside with fire
The truth that she cannot perceive
is she’s the one that they desire
Their faces show complete disdain
and through her window rocks were thrown
This actress feels a lot of pain
so late at night she's heard to moan
The pain is all inside her head
Its cause, the doctors couldn’t find
They said that she should stay in bed
She always feels a step behind
Her face was shown around the world
but now it’s gotten very old
Her hair was straight but now it’s curled
These children are so very bold
The kids all look so innocent
In truth they're aching for a fight
Her mind has never voiced consent
The kids have moved just out of sight
Her eyes remember moonlit nights
Her ears remember ocean waves
The olden days just seemed so right
She’s lost attention that she craves
The children only come at night
with no respect for her at all
Her glasses now allow for sight;
The children look so very small
She barely keeps her self control
The children play inside her mind
They’re trying hard to reach her soul
Defenses are so hard to find
The window's fixed by afternoon
Her crazy mind is struggling hard
She feels as if in some cocoon
Her soul still needs a body guard
At last inside her mind she knows
that children there are from her past
Her mind is merging with her soul
to find a peace she hopes will last
