Why do I have to see the truth,

Why can't I be blind?

I see everything and...

The truth has scared me,

For ever,

and ever,

and ever,

I only feel the pain of the truth.



I feel the pain...

I have made my choice,

I have chosen my path,

No

Going



Back.

No

Way



To




Heal.



Only to cope.

The author's comments:
Some adults think that we are 'just kids', that we don't feel pain or hurt. But we do! I urge anyone who reads this poem to look beyond the surface; relate to it in any way and find the true meaning.
