A Cry For Help

Why do we humans define our lives
By such small trivial things !?
When kids, "Oh how many friends do you have !?"
A little older, test scores.
Then how much pocket money we have.
"Oh you don't have a smartphone !!?? Sad."
"I've already like made out with seven guys,
And you not a single one !!??"
"WHAT !? You DON'T smoke !?"
"Lol still not drinking yet !! Grow up !!"

WELL THAT'S THE THING. I DON'T WANT TO.

What happened to those days
Where time with our parents meant the world.
And the only phone a ten year old had was the one he made.
Those days when our grandparents were never to 'old for us'.
And failing was NOT a trend.
Those days when the only beer teenagers would drink was root beer.
And teenagers would have licorice candy instead of cigarettes.
And a girl and a guy could stay friends and at the same time in their limits.
What happened to our innocent hearts
Somewhere between childhood and adolescence !?

They're all personal decisions.
But ask yourself, whether the 7 year old you,
Wanted the you of today to turn out like this.
