Growing Up
Kindergarten
We played with chalk
We rode our bikes
We stayed out until the street lights sparked on like fireflies brightening the night.
Elementary
We learned
That bad words were never right
But boomed them loud when teacher were out of sight.
Middle School
We stood up in class to flaunt our outfits
And told little lies to get what we wanted
We were ignorant
We were clowns
We were princes and princesses
High School
We lost our “Ride Or Dies” and got rid of cliques
We studied hard and planned to get rich
We joined our sports and went to dances
And we finally found our real voices
Future
We’ll get ready for life
We’ll say we aren't ready because we’re still kids
We’ll reminisce the memories made
