Painful

I did not know

I did not foresee

I did not foresee. 

Sudden responsibility

Sudden judgement 

Sudden 'You didn't know?'

Apparent greed

Apparent wants that turned into needs 

Apparent addications no longer just for fun.

Now we are here 

Now there is no turning back

Some of us tried and the result was testing death. 

This is what we wanted

all those years of longing and yearning for independence 

No one told us it would be this painful. 

This poem is about: 
Me
My family

Our world
