Last Summer
Last Summer
I saw the world,
Clouded by sweetness and hurt,
I didn’t really know about death until I was five,
I didn't know about murder till later on in my life,
I didn't know vendettas and revenge,
I didn’t know life could just end,
I didn't know bullying till I was six,
I didn’t know people could be forced into sex,
I didn't know people could take joy in killing,
I didn't know that with every word can come meaning,
I didn’t know that society would drown me in insecurity,
I didn't know I would be ashamed to be a person,
I didn’t know our world was hell and heaven was anywhere else,
I wish I didn't know.

The innocence of a child lost over time due to the cruelties of the world...it is a sad thing....do not only see the darkness for there is also light.
