When young

I felt old before my years

Never recognized tender

Mistook kind looks for leer

Saw smirks and sneers

Instead of warm smiles

Heard loud lively words

I knew little of hugs

Only of hurts

Community emphasis were illusion

By cruelties of blunt

and hilarity being hunt.

Replacing the words spoken

Of promises broken

But i hated that all around me

were wraith

Of kindness and love.

I longed to be cared of

Craved to feel safe

Unhindered by doubts
.

So what happened in life?

Answers are yet to be found
with the life time of let downs
