And the thousand times we've said goodbye

I wrote this about three years ago. Wow, so deep. So poetic.




Children cry when they fall because they are afraid
They are afraid that they will scratch some part of their body and bleed
They are afraid of being hurt
They are afraid of the pain

We cry when we fall because we are afraid
We are afraid that we will scratch some part of our body and bleed
We are afraid of being hurt
We are afraid of the pain

So what's the difference?
Children are afraid of the wounds on the outside
Our wounds cause us pain that comes from the inside
Childrens' superficial wounds heal
Our wounds remain
Children grow up and conquer their fears
We just grow up
And the fear is still there
