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

    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
