I was too young to understand— The mourning crowd and her peaceful slumber, The sorrow eyes and silent cries, They took her somewhere, And she never returned. I was too young to understand— The warning gaze and melting eyes, The piercing tone and sweet words, The sharp hands and soothing ice, The silent depart and longing wait, It all vanished before I could grasp. I was too young to understand— The hushed conversations, The vile recoil and sudden hatred, The repulsive touch and etched memory, The feigning actions and that game we never played again, The fading warmth and creeping censure, The bad dream and reality, They went quite before I could ask. They said I was too young to understand— So I stopped wondering, Too young, I stopped questioning. Too young, I stopped offering. Too young, I stopped caring. Too young, I stopped expressing. I was too young to understand— But am I still too young to be understood? ~pooja

Too young to understand
I was too young to understand— The mourning crowd and her peaceful slumber, The sorrow eyes and silent cries, They took her somewhere, And she never returned. I was too young to understand— The warning gaze and melting eyes, The piercing tone and sweet words, The sharp hands and soothing ice, The silent depart and longing wait, It all vanished before I could grasp. I was too young to understand— The hushed conversations, The vile recoil and sudden hatred, The repulsive touch and etched memory, The feigning actions and that game we never played again, The fading warmth and creeping censure, The bad dream and reality, They went quite before I could ask. They said I was too young to understand— So I stopped wondering, Too young, I stopped questioning. Too young, I stopped offering. Too young, I stopped caring. Too young, I stopped expressing. I was too young to understand— But am I still too young to be understood? ~pooja
