Everyone


I grew up watching cartoons on Saturday morning while eating cereal but so does everyone. Right?

I used to ride my bike throughout the neighborhood with my bestfriend but so does everyone. Right?

I used to get so embarresed whenever I stood up to talk in middle school but so does everyone. Right?

I used to hate it when my mom and dad fought all the time but so does everyone. Right?

I used to have to cover up the bruises so no one would ask questions but so does everyone. Right?

I always think about what he almost did to her and how close I was to losing her but so does everyone. Right 

I go on today knowing that I have to be better than he was and that I will be but so does everyone.

Right?
