As of now this is how it is,
your close friends become your worst enemies,
lollipops turn into cigarettes,
the innocent ones turn into sluts,
cell phones are being used in class,
detention becomes suspension,
soda becomes vodka,
bikes become cars,
undies turn into g-strings.
remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground?
When we couldn’t wait to goto school tomorrow?
when protection meant wearing a helmet?
when the worst things you could get from boys were cooties?
dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth,
and mom was your hero?
race issues were about who ran the fastest.
the only thing cheating concerned was in a game.
war was only a card game.
the only drug you knew was cough medicine.
wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut.
the only things that hurt you were skinned knees,
and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow?
but we couldn’t wait to grow up…
And now we wish we could go back.
to when we didnt have to worry,
about anything but catching our favorite kiddie shows.
we didnt have all this drama.
and when life was so much easier.
boy were we stupid….
