You don't feel something till you feel it.


I learned from a very young age what girls like to do with boys when they get older. 

I learned everything would change when I get older. 

I wouldn't be able to wear strapped tops that weren't an inch thick long in the school hallways.

But I wouldn't wear them outside of school either way.

Everything changed after third grade, I met the wrong and right people.

They told me to put on a bra in the middle of a school day after I went to the restroom,

heading back to my math class. 

Back in church, I don't remember you all too well.

Just that you were a girl. 

You slapped my a** when we were on break time. 

Because we were kids. 

Then the next week they asked you and your friends not to come back. 

I didn't have luck with friends, I still really don't now. 

I can never get them to stay no matter how much I try. 

I used to think maybe that was why...

I tried too much.

I learned things from a very young age, an age a little girl shouldn't have.

I learned everything would change as I grew older.

I just didn't think they would change this much.

Everyone has a favorite dream they want to live out. Some others try not to dream fearing it wouldn't happen because they knew before they did how the world was.
