He is only ten
He should be crying
Because he fell down
Not because someone
Called him a fag

She is only twelve
She should be playing
With friends
Not razors

He is only fourteen
He should be learning about life
Not tying ropes to end it

She is only sixteen
She should be on dates
Not hating herself

They were only eighteen
They should have been
Celebrating a graduation
Not a funeral
