JUST BEING A KID

 

Your clothes are torn

Your skin, so pale like a cadaver

Your tummies are bloated

Your feet are bare

Still you have no care

Except to love and be loved

I WISH I KNEW RIGHT

I didn't know what I was doing

But I stayed 

I didn't know if my decision was right

But I was ready to toe the line 

Do what I believed and stand by it

Hoping that you'll dole out the same energy

But I was wrong

You walked away at the first sign of discomfort.
