forgotten years
i thought about how i was once a teenager
i looked up to alexz and joslyn and their problems
the ones i didn't have
the books i read that were supposed to reflect my age group culture
the obsessive crush i had on a junior, connor
he lived down the street from me and was in my geometry class
i made sacrifices
gave up my good girl image
started shedding my skin
i may be the flesh and blood of my parents but
everyone i meet is a piece inside of me
making me a new DNA
so i let go of my teenage life
and led a different one
a better one
and now i'm here
begging for me to have a teenage life
because the dark scares me
...i was cheated of my childhood
i didn't know i was gonna be scarred
so now i still feel like a child
there's so many gaps that need mending
but i have no time machine
