Let me fly

ok.....sorry, this was done when I was still in depressed mode.

I guess my mind really still thinks like a child's......Actually I am still a child. From what I've been through in my past, I know a lot things about adults and sins. I knew what betrayal and pain meant. I keep many of the experiences I had when I was a child a secret from my own mother because I could never have the heart to tell her.

I hate the idea many adults take for granted that children don't understand much, but in fact we really do. We have more insight because we don't have a bias.

I also hate the idea that some families force children to be a certain someone, cultivating them to aspire one thing. Usually aren't parents suppose to make sure their kids have happiness. I also despise it when parents put down their own kids when the kid fails at something. Isn't it much better to encourage them and tell them to do better next time; rather than yell at them for being useless and dumb.
I think one of the worst things you can do to a child is abandonment, whether literal or metaphorical. Sometimes I would hear the words being uttered, "You should have never been born! How could you be so useless?!" or "I should have never had you! You are the worse mistake of my life!"
Imagine, a child hearing those words......how would they feel. How heartbroken. Despite what everyone thinks, most children do listen to the parents words even if they seem to isolate from them. It's the parents who forget to listen to the child. They forget to let the children cultivate their own dreams. They forget, and they chain the child up to have nothing. They allow their beautiful angels to become crippled and scornful until, the child becomes exactly like them...

What kind of love is it that causes families to take away a child's dreams and crushes them, crippling the child to follow every step of the parents?

Okay end of such a long description........kinda sad and emo of me.........
I have a connection to children. It's just that I want to be able to help mentor them and make sure they don't end up with conflicts like myself. 

I hope you guys don't think I'm crazy yet
