We were the children you knew yesterday.
We smiled, we laughed,
and played all day.
But now we've learned of your deceptions.

Your half truths,
Your double edged comments,
An endless amount of hate
For anyone who dares to smile.

So we grew up,
Far too fast.
Just to understand your pain.

You may mock us,
tell us we're to young,
to naive,
To understand.

But you no longer look us in our eyes.
You turn your head at the scars you've caused.

You can pretend your hands are clean.
But you can't silence us.
Not now that we're free.

You've torn us apart
Inside and out.
But we now we know
Your darkest truths.
