12 am and sitting in the corner,
they were 8 years old.
The feeling of warm tears running down their face,
They were 8 years old.
Frightened because they were realizing the terrier of this world,
When they were 8 years old.
Developing severe paranoia, when they were 8 years old.
And depression
And anxiety
And insomnia
Being assaulted then bled for it,
At 8 years old.
Feeling the weight of the world fall on them,
At 8 years old.
Their mother threatening to put them in a hospital,
When they were 8 years old.
They grew up too fast at 8 years old...
