you talked about getting high,
and it meant on the swings.
when the only protection you needed,
was a helmet.
when your dad,
was the only guy in your life.
when racial issues were,
who could run the fastest.
and the only mistakes you made,
could be erased from your paper.
now...
getting high only takes a needle.
birth control sales are higher than cold medicine.
you have no boyfriend, only nights you regret.
racial slurs are shouted left and right.
your writing in pen now,
you can't erase the mistakes."

She's in 9th grade.
stands taller than me at 19
loves the lord
her questions make me question
i give everything over to you lord
