I watched lightening bugs
like they were magic
I piled grass on my slide
Leaves became fortresses
Then happy hovels
Because I had no reason
to ever hide
Now I know your pain
And the tightness that you felt
As you watched your people hurting
Please, tell me how to reach out
I cannot hope to eradicate
The dim childhood you held
But maybe if you see I understand
The darkness won�t take root.
