DO YOU HEAR ME?

Location

a 3 year old isn't suppose to hear her mom running from a man screaming at her

maybe that her brother and they are playing like we do

no that is not right..mommy is crying..why is mommy crying?

DO YOU HEAR ME?

a 7 year shouldn't have to go bed hungry because she wasn't the model kid at school that day

maybe there isn't no food left

no that is not right why are my brother and sisters eating?

DO YOU HEAR ME?

a 12 year old should feel scared to go home because she feels its safer at school

maybe this happens to everybody at night

no that is not right why cant i tell anyone, why do i hurt and feel scared around you?

DO YOU HEAR ME?

a 17 year old shouldn't feel like nobody is proud/cares she is graduating

maybe they will be there, maybe its just a surprise

no that is not right, nobody's there.. nobody came.

DO YOU HEAR ME?
