They say age is the key
to knowledge
and as they peer unto youth
their words the unsuspected blade
slicing our innocence with rot.
Through torments
where the memory lingers
just one more hit that turned
one and one, never ending.
Bleeding from where born
the yelling and screaming
ringing through my ears
and tears would beg for it to cease
but those actions didn't speak.
Could I stand up on my feet
and stop this torture
his hand around my neck
wishing I wasn't here
as breath turned ill
leaving my body trembling for air
letting life slowly falter
Grasping for life at the end
trying to stay away from the pain
and they broke me
pulling me back to hell.
Society glares it's eye
punishing the "rebels"
the one who wants to leave
forever be free from the sin
and I stand with my scarred heart
remembering,
this is why death sounded good;
because they never understood.
Author notes
this is a sorta mix of the options so ill put a few that i used:
* It can also be a personal experience if you were a victim of abuse
*Or how children are treated by adults who think they are not to be heard

Excellent piece. I think knowledge is not based on age but how open you are to learn and absorb what life gives you. If everyone actually listened to each others ideas the world would be a much better place. Keep expressing yourself some of us listen
