Lollipops turned into cigarettes, the innocent ones turned into sluts. Homework goes in the trash, mobile phones being used in class. Detention became suspension, soda became vodka, bikes became cars. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When 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 mum 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 DIDN'T make you slut? The worst pain you knew, was when you skinned your knees and goodbye only meant until tomorrow?
...And we couldn't wait to grow up.
...And we couldn't wait to grow up.
