Oh the things
That we shared
Toys to play with
And fight over
Games to play
Win or lose
Tops and sweaters
A tear or two
Tissues for blowing
Straight from the box
Tickets to movies
Listening to songs
Sharing stories
From books
And friends
Writing letters
Sharing news
Hellos and goodbyes
Somehow knowing
Nothing could end
Thinking of you , so long ago..

I cannot find my worth
Not in the letters on my name,
especially not in the look on your eyes, nor in the sound of your voice.

I cannot find my worth elesewhere,
nor the point of everything.
Only the point of the daggers of your command,
urging me to run, when my body was limp and couldn't move.

But move anyway.
One step at a time, away from that edge.
One day, all will make sense.

Yes, laugh young ones!

Laugh as loud as you can.
Be sure of yourself,
make fun of everything.

Laugh, young ones,
laugh like a hyena
as you run down the streets.

Laugh with your friends,
enjoy this teen years of yours
for when you see what's life
you'll see no fun anymore.

Though you pushed me away,
Cause I saw the chaos in your heart,
And I wanted to help you find peace.
