Pill Of Joy

by Amanda Anderson, age 16, from US

ageless dreams and not enough time
souls of children dance to the rhymes.
and lovers loves forever grow
but is burried deep in freezing snow.
take the class ring off your hand,
and put in the hand of that faceless man.
body goes numb,
hold your breath.
one, two, three.
the hurting doesnt stop,
tears keep falling,
drop, drop, drop.
ageless dreams and not enough time
innocent children dance to the rhyme.
but as they grow up the fake smiles flow.
in the form of a pill we all well know.
