When I was 10 years old
The only things I worried about
Was coming to school late
Or accidentally getting the same backpack as someone in my class
When I was 10 years old
The only scars I had were those that I got after falling on the playground
When I was 10 years old the only thing I was scared of was horror movies and clowns
Ten year olds today
Worry about how they look
Their size, if they have too much “baby fat”
They worry about perfection as if anyone can achieve perfection
Ten year olds today have self inflicted scars
From constantly being told they aren’t good enough
Ten year olds today
Have to fear going to school everyday because this day a man might come with a gun and even if I don’t get shot how can I recover from seeing that
And yet society says kids have no stress
