Do you remember when your close friends became strangers,
When lollipops turned into blunts, the innocent ones turned into sluts,
How about when your homework started going in the trash,
Do you remeber when soda became vodka, and kisses turned into sex.
Remember when getting high meant swinging in the playground.?
When protection meant wearing a helmet?
When the worst thing you could get from boys were cooties?
Dads shoulder was the highest place on earth and Mom was your hero?
Your worst enemies were your siblings, and Race issues were about who ran the fastest.
Do you remember when the only drug you knew was cough medicine,
when wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut,
the only thing that hurt you was scabby knees ,
Do you remember when goodbyes only meant until tomorrow.?
Do you remember when all we wanted to do was to grow up !?
I really liked this poem. I think almost everyone can relate to it. It starts off strong and ends in the same way.. Good Job.
