You know Nothing By Elliot L

As a young child you know nothing.
You think you know everything about life, but in a harsh reality you know nothing of the everlasting cruel world right outside your door.
You do not know how people are thinking, how they are feeling, or what decisions they might make.
The voices you hear outside your door,
Are the decisions that will change you for life.

You then start to realize that your world has changed.

Then it hits you.
Like a venomous snake sinking its fangs into its prey, and you feel the acidic pain, knowing
its the truth. A twisted shock of betrayal swells up deep inside you. And
You understand what real pain is, and desperately wish
that it would just go away.

Wishing the pain was quick,
and accurate like a dagger but in reality is much better,
Than slow acidic venom in your veins that is slowly killing you:
the truth.
