My parents always warn me about drugs
And places
And weapons
And sketchy people
But never about the normal people
To ones that can hold you
And make you feel special
But later can tear you to shreds
And leave you abandoned
And alone

My parents always warn me to stay away from trouble
But never the ones who can truly hurt me
So I go to these people
Trust them with my secrets
My whole life

I think they care
And maybe they do
But only for a few minutes
Then they use it all against me
Ruin my whole life

And my parents say they warned me
But they never truly did...
