Our Children




I come from bloody noses and scraped knees.
Bright blue eyes holding onto the promise of tomorrow 
that will never come.
I come from optimism,
forever filled with the hope of
something better.
I come from sugar coated lies 
Spoken from caved lips of hidden truth.
I come from pangs of anxiety, balled fists and damp eyes.
I come from the heartbeat in my ear drums that cannot be escaped.
I close my eyes, but fire burns brighter in the darkness.

I come from misconception.
I begin to understand the world for what it is.
I come from a new beginning; hopeful of a better start to something new, but forever fearful.
I come from power, of a stronger person that has been painfully carved along the way.
It is all a matter of perspective.
