Go back

by Brittany   Oct 25, 2006


I want to go back to
When abuse was something, you yelled when your friends tickled you,
Back to when you were high, it meant you were on a swing in the air
Or back when there were only two cliques Boy's and the girls
How about to the time where the only time you cried over something, it was a toy
I want to go back to then
Back to the time were when someone was hot it was referring to the tempter
Go back to the times when you were sick
All Your friends came over being silly they did not care that you were contagious
When they always made you smile
When friendships were ended for no more than a day or two
Go way back when;
Go back so far that the worst rumor alive was that you road you bike without a helmet;
A grudge was being mad at your best friend for steeling your idea
I want to go back to the time when sexual harassment was when a boy poked you
Back when you made flower rings and had time for everything
"I'm gonna kill you" was a joke an really meant you were just going to pretend hurt them
Back to the time when a "boyfriend" was a friend, that was a male
When nothing was impossible and the world was yours for the taking
When a h.o. e was one of mommy's gardening tools
Someone take me back to the time when
Computers and cell phones where as weird as space aliens
Or whether you were black white or brown, you were the same
Take me back; back to that one time when?
You got a dollar from daddy it was the coolest
How about when starting a fire was something dad did when we went camping
Or when you got up on Saturday morning to watch cartoons
I want to go back to then
Back to no cell phones, computers or boyfriends,
Let us go forward a little now
What is the difference between the two?
Abuse is something mom did to dad and scared me for life
Getting high means your on illegal drugs
There are a million different stupid cliques
Crying is something mostly boys, friends, and parents all cause
Being hot has many different meanings
When you are sick no one cares, they do not come over though
They said it would get better it only gets worse
