You're Too Young - You're Too Old

You're too young to cry, They say, Too young to bare the weight of you're burdens. Yet your family beat you down, stripped you of your confidence, turned your smile into a frown. You're too old to cry, They say, too long ago did the trauma occur, just move on, forget. Little do they know the lingering aftershock, And how my confidence is still nowhere to be found.
