towers of my life
magically a tower appears on the scene
representing all of my childhood dreams
knights & ladies & dragons galore
waiting there for me to explore
merlin & magic & everything good
ivy & brooks & fairy filled woods
slowly i grow & a new tower appears
modern & tech & full of my peers
cold concrete & glass from the ground to the air
no magic or pleasure to find in there
keep to yourself & just do your job
lock yourself up so you can't be robbed
lose yourself to the society book
forget all about playing beside the cool brook
rose colored glasses? only for kids
now hurry & get in that lowest bid
empty to anger & finally rage
it's time for me to turn the page
back to the time i loved as a child
when i took the time to see dreams thru wide eyes
i can have both but it'll take time
to let my child return outside to shine
to show me to smile & laugh with myself
let all the pain go & believe in the elves
so i cross a new bridge & continue to move on
give myself time to find all & bond
i wont forget to stop along the way
to take time for myself & remember to play
