The Truth
Children ask so many questions.
Often enough, children face hard lessons.
They learn that people lie.
They learn that sometimes a part of your family doesn't love you.
Those children grow up so insecure.
They are never for sure.
They doubt mostly themselves.
They often enough doubt everyone else.
They learn that society can be so cruel to kids.
For them to belong, the world forbids.
Everyone warns them to not talk to strangers.
Adults never realize they pose the exact same dangers.
