Lives among us never change
the story remains the same
times don't change
and most importantly neither do we
Men come of boys
rebel against their fathers
love their mothers
and hate the world they've just inherited
Women come of girls
grow apart from their shame
and blossom complete and true
ready to tend a world loved by few
Sacrifices made
are for none
are for one another
and for themselves.
Risks are taken
rules are breakn'
Smiles of ours faken
We grow to love the lost
And regret
never realizing
how good we had it
until it
like life
is gone.
