Playground

where was I in adolescence

was it ever here

I spent my time searching beyond my reach

yet all I found in reality

was fear

I would watch

children in their 'happiness'

so deeply broken

but to never make a sound

for they knew nothing beyond

the laughter of the playground

and in their eyes, you saw truth

of what one day they would become

but they hid from truth

and when knowledge sank in

they took ignorance for a run
