How Old?
How old do I
have to be
to understand you
to understand me
to understand love
to understand hate
to understand the world
as it seems to break
old as 10?
old as 12?
older than 20 while
I hear the bells?
Maybe it's that
ill never understand
until I grow up
and find
who I am.

We are always told we're too young to understand, or we couldn't possibly perceive the perplexing controversy around us (yes I used big words to prove my point). Im trying to say that maybe it doesn't matter how old we are. Maybe what matters... Is when we find who we are.
