I am like...

Had To write it for my 10th grade honors English class.

I am like a child,
unable to share the thoughts in my head
that can change a generations outlook on society.

Important events play out each and everyday,
some happy like a good grade
or making the spot in that band I tried out for.

But also the bad occurs,
and nobody,
as if time has suddenly stopped;
knows why this epidemic has occurred.

Truth spun into lies,
unable to be told
or believed
spin in minds in so many directions-
not knowing what is the truth.

Along with gossip,
as if playing a simple game
of telephone with a group of friends;
truth is changed in so many ways
setting off one part of society
and life comes to a complete hault.

No one will ever know the truth
from the child,
who like an adult,
has no control
over society's mind.
