the loss of innocence

My shadow is almost gone
And I’m only nine years old.
I’m going to ride my bicycle
No matter what you say.
Hit me, divorce me, forget me
But I will not get off this race.

Bring 12 horses, they won’t stop me.
You may yell, shout or cry,
I will not follow the herd.
I will conquer every step
And count to seven, just turn away.
Repent, say your prayers, then kneel.

The leaves fell and snow covered it all
But I did not fear, it was summer in my heart.
Now, I shall hide behind the bushes
By the shore where the waves will break me.
The ocean will be my sanctuary,
For a martyr I have become. Against my will.
