People always said
that life as a child was easy.
Do they really know?
How could they?
Now I say life as a child is hard
growing around so much
can dull your heart
can numb your body and soul
everyone around me asking things
just sitting there ignoring it all
even when danger is around
going to a better place in my mind
seems like everything
is going down hill
looking for ways
to make my pain go away
this is why kids have so many scars
this is why so many kids die
their, scared, lonely, and numb
from all the pain around them
why can't anyone see?
we sometimes think kids are happy
but have you talked to them?
listened to what they have to say?
some of them are lucky
they find people like them
and they help each other heal
but others find people
who only make things worse
or they don't find anyone at all
Don't ever like the outside fool you
because the inside could be hell
