Soon The Lightning McQueen light ups lying on the floor will be traded for shiny black pumps Soon The screams will be muffled cries for help rather than loud, blatant shouts of disobedience Soon Dinner won't be a time to be together, it'll just be another meal Soon Nights up late choreographing will be nights up late writing essays Soon Coming home won't mean the excited shouts of tiny voices, rather, silence or the sound of adulthood Soon Everything that used to be, won't be Soon Everything I know will be different.
