Scared, Alone, Confused

Not knowing what to do

Strapped down to the icy stretcher

If only I knew what they were really after

My mind scrambled for memories of what had happened

 

Making sure to show no fear

I swore I would not shed my tears

As father stood behind the mask

I wonder what might be his task

My mind ponders what is really going on here

 

Are they here to take me away?

I wonder if I will ever see the light of day

Although I was taken against my will

Our true identity we must conceal

To the south we head for our new life to finally begin
