fourteen years

I dare you to read this.

i've only lived fourteen years

but i've seen the wars,

the blood,

the tears

i've only lived fourteen years

and i've felt the pain,

the numb,

the cage

i've only lived fourteen years

and I've known lost lives,

lost dreams,

lost words

i've only lived fourteen years

i've heard the screams

of a mother losing a child,

I've heard the weeping

of a boy who lost his way

and i'm just a girl

who wants to live without the dying

and i've lived fourteen long years

of knowing people are dying while they're sighing

i'm just a girl

a lonely girl

who wants to kiss a boy,

dance a measure,

maybe one day find buried treasure.

these fourteen years I've been alive

i've learned to cry without the sound

I've learned to bleed without the blood

I've learned to hug without the touch

looking in the mirror

i see a girl who has scars

i see a girl who cant be touched

i see a girl who's afraid of dark

fourteen years ive been alive

but i dont just want 

to survive.

look me in the eye

and tell me im too young to understand

and tell me i think that i cant die

because the truth is

I know the Truth.

Author's Note

The raw truth about me.

This is the raw truth of the reality of life and your words show you are never too young to understand the way it all works. This is cleverly articulated for one so young. Keep at it, you have talent.
