Just A Child
By Shloka Chandran
I can’t do tasks on time anymore
I’m not really hungry I lied
Looking at me with unbothered eyes
they said “Relax you’re just a child”
I can’t wake up early anymore
It’s a cacophony in my mind
Looking at my like I was crazy
they said “Calm down you’re just a child”
I can’t look into the mirror anymore
It’s getting hard to stick to rules they defined
Looking at me with an annoyed glance
they said “Smile you’re just a child”
I can’t bottle up my emotions anymore
Crying my tears ruin the makeup I applied
Looking at me while rolling their eyes
they said “Pull yourself together you’re just a child”

I met evil when I was
just a child.
