All These Kids


7/27/13

All these kids

growing up to fast

with society chiming in

"You're too fat"

"You're not good enough".

All these kids

growing up too fast

youth is gone

innocence lost

one time

is all it takes.

All these kids

growing up too fast

society's image

messing with their heads

aspiring to be

something they're not.

All these kids

grew up too fast

now they're lost

confused

and scared.
