Complications
Love
in this world,
is far different than
before.
far more complicated,
kids running
out of love before
they hit 10.
kids running around
with kids of their own
before 14.
School
caring about grade points
not mental health
but changing
their point of view.
Phone
to toddlers,
tablets to infants,
apple watches to kids.
no one even
goes outside
anymore.
Kids having
rosters,
not just one person.
names,
nonexistent.
bodies,
all that are seen.
hearts,
hidden behind walls.
we went from
crying for comfort,
to only behind
closed doors.
Parents went from
best friends to
enemies.
friends
closer than
family.
