A Constant State of Despair

Growing up wrapped

In the tightest shelter you could imagine,

Are you suprised to find us

All stunted and breathless?

We need to be taught,

Not protected.

I'm on my own now

And I'm choking on

All this air that I

Never learned how to breathe.

Please don't keep us in the dark.

Ignorance is the most dangerous thing

To leave us when you're gone.
