so young. so innocent.

lollipops turn into cigarettes. the innocent ones turn into sluts. homework goes into the trash. mobile phones are being used in class. detention becomes suspension. soda becomes vodka. bikes turn into cars. kisses turn into sex. do you remeber when getting high meant swinging on the playground. protection meant wearing a helmet. when the worst thing you could get from boys was cooties. dads shoulders were the highest place on earth and mom was your hero? your worst enemies were your siblings. race issues were about who ran the fastest. war was only a card game. and the only drug you knew was cough medicine. when wearing a skirt didnt make you a slut. the most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees. and goodbye only meant until tomorrow. and we couldnt wait to grow up?
