As a child I wish I knew To say 'No' And not a 'yes' Unwilling to hurt another Yet, willingly hurting myself As a child I wish I knew Being straightforward Begets more enemies And friends few I would now have A swarm around And not remain isolated As a child I wish I knew Honesty isn't always good Sometimes diplomacy Is the key To maintain goodwill For, genuinety Is rarely recognised And left to suffer In silence As a child I wish I knew.. #yqbaba#asachild
