Wide-eyed and terrified (From a child's perspective)

by Aaron Michael

life is bound to what i know.



so if knowledge makes me powerful,



i feel like a child in a world of giants.



wide-eyed and terrified,



as i'm looking for parents in a disneyland crowd.



somewhere there is hope for me, and



they lie in familiarity,



comfort, and home,



they lie in familiarity.



somewhere there is hope for me, and



as i'm looking for parents in a disneyland crowd,



wide-eyed, and terrified,



i feel like a child in a world of giants.



so if knowledge makes me powerful,



life is bound to what i know.

I really do adore this poem, with the roundabout thinking of a child written into the format. Your word choice is fabulous!

Incredible. You are amazing. This took me completely into the child's perspective. Brilliantly delivered and haunting. Wow.
