Goodbye to the Children
There’s too much pride for anyone to be proud
And no one can listen when everyone’s loud.
I flexed my control
You bucked in your fear
And all that it earned us were tears.
I wish I could hold you and make it okay
If your pain were a fly, I’d shoo it away
But it’s not
It’s a root deeper than trees
And there’s no more strength left in me.
Your world is a secret most wish to ignore
Your thoughts are keys, but you don’t know what for
So you use them as weapons
Against us. Against you.
And none of us know what to do.
For times that I failed you, my precious lost
Please remember I loved you, no matter the cost
There is light
In this world, for those who believe
May His light stay with you when I leave.
I must leave.
Because there’s too much pride for anyone to be proud.
And no one can listen when everyone’s loud.
Goodbye.
And remember me as one who knew
That you are worth so much more than what you can do.
May your eyes be opened. May your world become new.
Goodbye, little ones. Be true.
