Grow up

Lollipops turn into cigarettes.
Homework goes into the trash.
Mobile phones are being used in class.
Soda becomes vodka.
Bikes become cars.
Kisses turn into sex.
Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground?
When protection meant wearing a helmet?
Remember when 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 ran the fastest.
War was only a card game.
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.

Yeah, I couldn't wait to grow up. In the past.
Oh God what did I do?!!
Finally I understand why Peter Pan didn't want to grow up
in this complicated world.
