When i was young, Mums stories told
of dragons fierce and Knights so bold
these treasured memories, dear i hold
they turned my silver lining Gold.
Then i grew up and flew away
Ill not return, i used to say
I didnt know the price Id pay
My silver lining turned to Grey
I live in a room with just my bed
terrible thoughts flow through my head
my daily life is filled with dread
Its turns my silver lining Red
No longer confident or proud
the darkness hugs me like a shroud
I cry so long, I cry out loud
Ive lost the linings of my cloud
Every day is such a fight
to beat the darkness, see the light
to spread our wings like birds in flight
To keep our silver linings bright.
