Drugs! Heartbreak! Pain! Stay away from our families Parents who cover and sugarcoat our lives Not letting us know about true suffer Such as homeless, disease, death, love. Our exposure to terrible things is limited To make our childhood a little more bearable Keeping us Little Ones away from the “monsters” And the “Bad guys” But aren’t telling us that they’re just like you and me. Our exposure is limited to what the world Truly is. © Regan

Our exposure to terrible things is limited To make our childhood a little more bearable Keeping us Little Ones away from the “monsters” And the “Bad guys” But aren’t telling us that they’re just like you and me. Our exposure is limited to what the world Truly is. © Regan
