As an older kid, a teenager, I see now it’s not easy. We have a precious gift we have to protect, care for, and guide into adulthood. However, we often forget how things work in kid's world. And sure: I’m still a kid, but what we do influences other kids, and the people around us. And even us as teenagers don’t always have the guidance and sometimes we get off the right track, and we don’t know any better, so the rising generation turns out just as bad, or dreadfully, worse than us.
What started this long chain of thoughts, was going to the playground yesterday. I attended to three elementary schools: Lanier Elementary School, Enota Elementary School, and Riverbend Elementary School. I live less than a mile away from Lanier, and I walk there frequently. I like to sit on my favorite swing and reminisce.
And the reason that I do walk there a lot, is because I don’t want to ever forget what it was like there. I feel scared that I’m going to loose my childhood. It was taken away from me so fast.. I want to keep remembering the only thing that I have to hold on to. Life passes by so fast. Sometimes you just need to sit down and smell the roses of the past.
I feel absolutely pitiful.
Emotional Scars.
The bruises you’ll never see.
Ridges that you cannot feel.
and screams that echo forever.
