Growing Up

Randomly written by Random-

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 
Oh sweet childish innocence
salty tears in a hot chocolate cup
T-ball bats and
kites stuck in trees
Dependent on my snuggle bear
Kisses from mom and a wave goodbye
on a school bus ride to hell

First kiss under the schoolyard tree
notes passed in secrecy
Muddy shoes all over a bleach white floor
ripped shirts from climbing trees
baseball bats and
kites stuck in branches
Pokemon cards
and cracked compact discs

Algebra and leather footballs
Perky models with beach blonde hair
Rave pits and rock concerts
virginity lost beneath my bed
stories read and forgotten
cause I didn’t even care
“All niters” and caffeine drinks
 graduation caps and diplomas
And colleges by the sea
