You know,
As a kid,
I seen life differently,
I know you did too,

But thats life,
We grow and mature,
We learn from everything,
And everyone,

Every person on the planet has a story,
A tale,
Some dont know their own,
While others know many,

And me,
I know many, 
But still dont know my own,
Its strange isnt it,

To know so many others life storys,
To have to ability to read one as you would a book,
Yet never know where your next page takes you,
Wondering how it will end,

Happiness?
Or Sadness?
Bliss?
Or Pain?

No one really knows,
You,
Me,
Them,

But thats life,
Always question,
Never answer,
Sitting quitely while life goes by,

You know,
As a kid,
I seen life differently,
I know you did too,

You may just know remember,
Whats something you used to think as a kid,
Me?
I believed i was the last human alive,

That everyone else was a robot,
Trying to convert me into one of them,
I believed i was special,
How i couldnt have been more wrong,

As a kid,
I believed everyone was nice,
No Rape, Murder, Disease,
Wife Beaters, Child Abusers, Psycopaths,

Its amazing what a kid is,
So pure and innocent,
A blank slate that can have poetry written on,
Soft clay ready to be molded and and fired,

Taking on the shape that is pleasing to the eye,
Yet retaining its own characteristics,
Being there own person,
Without a worry of how someone else feels,

But as you get older you learn,
And you realize there is this thing called rape,
Murder,
Disease,

And you withdraw,
You are no longer this innocent kid,
You start to wonder what is on the next page,
How it will end,

I guess i wrote this poem at 6:02 A.M. on 12/18/13 to just say,
Even if i dont know what is on the next page,
Ill still keep on reading,
Because its a story that is gripping,

And i hope you will do the same,
No matter what that page says,
You have the strenght to turn the page,
And keep reading,

And the headliner for you book,
Should always start like this,
You May Be Stronger Then You Were,
But Your Still Not As Strong As You Can Be,

Never Give Up.
