I remember when protection meant wearing a helmet.
The only time you could throw up was when you were sick.
Mum was your hero.
Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth.
Your Worst Enemies were your siblings.
Bitch, was the girl who could run faster.
The only drug we knew was cough medicine.
A threat was you’re not my friend anymore.
The only alcohol we drank were the tiny sips of daddy’s Beer if you begged him enough.
The only time someone killed themselves was when they Were baddies on TV.
The only thing that could be broken were your toys.
Goodbyes only meant until tomorrow.
But the main thing I remember most, Was wanting to grow up.
