The Child Did Ask

What is in this world the child did ask before it entered the world

Is this life to be such a terrible task

Should I wait longer and not enter this place just now

Is it time to show this new world my wonderful face

As a new child I feel I would struggle to grow in this place

I would be conditioned in things I did not need to know

My teen years would be difficult trying to show who I really am

I would have to engage and face all my fears

In my teen years I would dream how my life should be

Yet I would not think and worry how my life would be so cold

Suffering in my mind still as this child who needs just to be me

Yet this would be the life that I have and would not know why

I know what I see now could I not just be me

It is not as I have lived now and not as I dream

Life is waiting and only giving me a short time to come right now

For me this is not my decision when I must go

So I must enter this world I do not know
