Teenagers
Your best friends become strangers, lollipop turn into
cigarettes.
The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes into trash, and kisses turn into sex.
Dad's shoulder was the highest place on earth and mom was your heroine.
Your worst enemies were your siblings, race issues were about who ran the fastest.
The only drug you knew was Panadol. We all said we couldn't wait on to grow up, what were
you thinking?
Goodbyes only meant until tomorrow.
