A child is once an adult once they comfort the baby and forget how to sulk,
once they have lost the ability to quit their brain,
once they stop wishing for toys and instead wishing that they felt sane.
By convincing the sheep that they needn’t not weep because the wolves had already been fed,
but what she did not include was that it was by the means of her own arms and legs.
Soothing the child whispering she’d “only be gone a little while”,
and yes,
she has to go live her life.
Preaching to ignore the slurs and every each cruel world,
saying “don’t let it corrupt your pure souls”.
With tears flooding her eyes,
and sorrow in her smile,
sorry that she has to leave them in a nest of thorns.

Am I a poor sister,
for constantly pushing them away,
in for losing my temper too easily?
they'll ask me to check the closet,
or underneath their beds,
"there's a monster".
but it makes me wonder,
maybe the true monster is me.

When you say you want to die,
I want to say 'me too',
But I can't,
Because you're only eleven.
When you ask about the scars on my arm,
I tell you it happen by accident,
So not to give you any ideas,
Because you're only eleven.
When you cry and I hold you tight,
I tell you a lie,
That everything is going to be ok,
Because you're only eleven.
When I cry I cover my eyes,
I don't want you to see my pain,
So I can help you deal with yours,
Because you're only eleven.
When things get to hard,
I want to keep you safe,
So you don't have to face the world alone,
Because you're only eleven.
When you say you want to die,
I promise to help you live,
And give you the support I never got,
Because I was only seven.
