REMEMBER

Lollipops turns into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes into trash. Mobile phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes Vodka. Bikes becomes cars. Kisses turn into sex. DO YOU REMEMBER when getting high meant swinging on the playground? 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? Your worst enemies were your siblings, Race issues were about who run the fastest, War was only a card game, And the only drug you knew was cough medicine. When wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, And goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn’t wait to grow up. IT IS WHAT IT IS but Remember What’s done is never done, it remain within us, the story we tell ourselves so we know who we are.
