Too young

You say the adults are speaking
Listen up 
because now I am speaking 
All my life I have been told I am to young to know what is going on in this world
to scary for a little kid like me
But if I have to live through the hard parts 
Just like you
I should get to know
Because you try to take away my power 
telling me I am too young
I am sick of being too young
So if I am old enough to go through this
I am not too young to know the truth

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
