I wish I lived in a world where children didn't have to die
I wish I didn't have to see the mothers and fathers who are left behind
There shoulders a little too weighed down and a look in there eyes that's impossible to describe
I wish I didn't have to see them pretend they're okay when I know that they wake up every day and have to remember all over again that there child is gone
I wish I didn't have to see the siblings that are left behind
The ones that lost there siblings young and only come to understand the pain once they get older
I wish I didn't have to see the ones that ask why it wasn't them
There minds weighed down by the guilt of survival
I wish I didn't have to feel the grief that comes with growing older
Because with each year that passes, I understand more how truly short there lives were
Realizing those years were just the beginning and there life could of been so much more
I wish I didn't have to think about these children and wonder what they would be like if they were still alive
An incomplete image in my head because I know that it will never be real
I wish no one had to live with that pain
Pain that never leaves
Pain that is forever
