[bodytext] => Round and round she went, The old rusty merry-go-round screeching with every turn to the east. The midnight sky reflecting stars within her gaze As the world seemed to revolve around only her just this once. She used to come here often as a child To free herself of the anguish and pain found behind closed doors It was here that everything felt right and she was no burden It was here within the darkness, as she envisioned the ground beneath her wings That she realized someday things would change and she’d be better than them. Round and round he went The old rusty merry-g0-round screeching with every turn to the east. The shimmer of a falling star reflected within his gaze As the world seemed to revolve around only him just this once. He used to come here often as a child To free himself of the neglect and loneliness found beneath cardboard roofs It was here that everything felt right and he was needed It was here within the darkness, as he envisioned his dreams coming true That he realized someday things would change and he’d be better than them. Round and round they went, The old rusty merry-go-round screeching with every push of their feet. The glimmer of a still burning flame reflecting within their gaze As the world seemed to revolve around them for just this once. They used to meet here often when they were children To free themselves of the torment and suffering found within their parents lives It was here that everything felt right and they were someone It was here within the darkness, as they share their newfound lives That they realize things had changed and so had they; for the better.
