Let Me Be A Kid Again
I wish my worries were more simple,
I wish my concerns could be more childish,
I wish the world would stop trying to tear itself apart,
I wish the government would stop being so greedy,
I wish I didn’t worry about bullets ricocheting through my school,
I wish I didn’t know how to make a tourniquet for bullet wounds,
I wish we could all just lay down our weapons and stop fighting,
I wish they would listen to our screams,
I wish I still had hope for our future,
I wish I hadn’t seen the statistics,
I wish we had longer but we did this to ourselves,
I wish I could just be a kid.
