we all start out the same
screaming and crying
wishing we could return to the only home we’ve ever known
its quite traumatic if you think about it
a small, innocent thing
brutally ripped away from the safe comfort of darkness
the warmth of isolation in its own personal room
and while we all may start out the same
we will never return to that state of unity
we change, evolve
grow up
and the world does, too
for some, it might happen in happy homes
full of love and wonder
for the rest of us,
that is not the case
all that screaming and crying
at such a young age
was to prepare
to train, to warn us
about the horrors
of growing up
