Knowing A Little To Much A Little To Young

Is it possible for a child,
To know too much,
To expect too much,
To know that a simple kiss,
Doesn’t,
Just make the pain go away.
To expect illness,
To expect death.
Or,
Does it make them stronger?
More knowledgeable
Or
Does it kill them to know
Everyday were living to die.
