The Life I Live (Saria)
By: Green_Beauty
I know people who would kill
For the life I live,
But you must understand,
Eternal youth isn't all it turns out to be.
I'm sure you haven't given a thought
To what it must be like
To live a life of everlasting childhood
So let me tell you how it is:
I know nothing of the world beyond this forest,
And perhaps you think it better not to,
But it is torture not to know,
Not to experience the entire world.
I am so completely helpless
When I have to defend myself
That I am easy prey
To the cunning adults I encounter.
And do you know what it feels like
To fall in love,
But never be able to act on it,
Because you're nothing but a child!
And so, I envy your life
For my soul will never be fulfilled,
Because I will always be
A mere child...
