Back in the day

Back in the day…
Standing by a boy ment you would get cooties
Saying a bad word was jerk
Getting in trouble is sitting in time out
A fight was ‘your being mean.’ ‘I didn’t mean to be’
Doing something bad was ripping a library book by mistake
Sleeping in class was naptime
Being upset was crying over losing a Barbie doll
Being a baby was you cried because you fell and scrapped your knee
Hurting yourself was falling down the steps
Gushing blood was a scratch on your arm
Flying high was swinging
Candy before dinner was never aloud
A scary costume on Halloween was a witch or ghost
Family was all about Love

But now days…
Having cooties is Aids
Saying a bad word is F**k
Getting in trouble is groundings or jail
Fighting is punching
Doing something bad is illegal
Sleeping in class you get detention
Being upset is your boyfriend breaking up with you
Being a baby is you have a stuffed animal
Hurting yourself is self harm
Gushing blood is getting stabbed in the heart
Flying high is drugs
Candy is dinner half the time
A scary costume is bloody and guts
The Love slowly fades till the family is ripped apart…
