Hide me, Find them.. Poem by SarahLouise Malone

Hide me, Find them..

'As obvious as the words on this screen,
i am scared,
You surrounded me like towers and protected me,
Today there was a crack in your forcefield,
I'm in knowing,
I saw everything for its ugly, unfair self,
I'm disgusted,
Why? Dear walls that secluded me so well,
I'm confused,
How did you not crumble in despair?
I'm petrified,
Young girls and boys more scared than I,
I'm disturbed,
Being forced to do things, and see things they're too young to understand,
I'm ill,
Sex war leading to abuse of the youth, turning into suicide,
I'm weak,
Mere children must face this everyday,
I'm curious.....
Why are you protecting me, and not them? '
