Teenage Years
Thirteen years old
Wind blowing through long blonde hair
Cascading rivers down my back
Inviting boys and girls alike in
Asking them to dive deep into my darkest parts
Not yet discovered
Not young enough to be considered a child
Not old enough to be considered wise
Letting anyone with a pretty enough smile in
Never knowing when to push people away
Pain and betrayal al too easy to come by
Still too young to know how to protect
Against pretty smiles filled with fangs
Pretty boys with pretty smiles
New school, New friends
Good Decisions, Bad Decisions
Long afternoon walks
Gentle Brown eyes
And a know-it-all smile
Whispered promises
A broken promise
A broken innocence
