Growing Up

Growing up;
your best friend becomes your worst enemy.
your boyfriend becomes a jerk.
lollipops turn into cigarettes.
the innocent ones turn into sl**s.
soda becomes vodka.
bikes turn into cars.
undies become g-strings.

Remember when...
protection meant wearing a helmet,
and the worst thing you can get from boys were cooties.
race issues were about who ran the fastest.
war was only a card game.
the only things that could hurt you were skinned knees,
and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow.

...yet we all couldn't wait to grow up.
