I hope...

I hope you live your highschool years in ignorance kid...
I hope every stare your way goes unnoticed
And that EVERY time someone jeers
You try to find and comfort the one they attack

I hope you don't fight the bullies kid...
But i hope you don't go defenceless.
Its a big world out there and it never hurts to bring a shield

I hope you take an interest in the arts kid...
And you paint your pain onto canvas in letters, lavish paintings and sound.
Rather then paint in blood like your own parents

I hope you fight the world easily kid...
And don't judge us too harshly.
(We don't claim to be perfect
and i'm too scrawny to be your punching bag)

I hope you see the world kid...
In all its splendour
Dodging the sadness like a boxer.

I hope you LIVE kid...
and set a goal in your sights.
Set yourself up to soar
And let us be the safety net for your first flight.
