the loss of innocence
a fall from grace
a trip, a stumble,
then flat on her face

trying to stop that
before it's too late
trying to keep her
from a much worser fate

bells should go off
and alarms should sound
to keep her alert
when adults aren't around

growing and learning
are both parts of life
toils and troubles
heartaches and strife

quiet secrets
whispered aloud
trying to "fit in",
be "one" with the "crowd"

abusing a privilege
or telling a lie
there's no need to do it
no real reason why

caught between roadblocks:
woman or girl?
who am i?
what's my place in this world?

no need to rush it
there's plenty of time
just be YOURSELF
and don't walk the line

"remember when getting high meant swinging at the playground"

Read your blog from top to bottom. I am not sure whether it's a twentysome thing- At times I go back to B-13 and participate in our mohulla's cricket matches. Sadly the ball is dropped, the alarm rings, and I have finish homework.

Hope your exams went well- and best wishes for this semester.

Regards,
Raj.
