I wish I could be Me

I wish I could be Me again,

the Me of way back when

I'd open the box of video games

wondering, "Which should I play?"

I wish I could go back

into that golden age

I wish I could be that Me

who knew how to have fun.

I wish I could be Me again,

the Me of so long ago

The one who had all those friends,

now, gone.

Oh, how I wish I could still see them,

and tell them, Hello

If I could go back,

I'd never let them go.

I wish, oh I wish, I could be Myself again,

out on the marching field

Taking care of my section, those good kids

I had something I believed in...something I fought for,

and everyone knew it, too.

I still remember that fateful night,

"Seniors, never forget."  That's right.

I wish, I could have another chance, another year

I'd do it all again, if only I could.

I wish, I could be Me again,

so peaceful, so quiet

My studio, a sanctuary

my life, bliss.

I wish I could live there again,

and sit on my bed

I knew who I was,

and, who I wasn't.

I wish, oh I wish, I could be Me again,

believing in myself without any doubt

I was sad, often, but I didn't mind

Everything was alright, everything was fine.

When did I lose it?  Where did it go?

How can I be Myself again?

...I don't know...
