Secret Children

I sometimes feel sad that I was always dismissed. 

As being limitless.

They said that I was choosing to be confused. 

So when a new generation came that for help is pursued-

I can’t help but wonder when that window in time passed by. 

When it became too late for possibilities of my future to be revived. 

Please take care of these children that I used to be. 

Or else the cycle of hopelessness will continue if the old generation does not plead.
