The Cycle

The Cycle

At 6 you're playing in the yard, ad your only worry is what momma is cooking for supper
When its dusk out, you can smell the summer time ending and its time to go inside 

At 8 you're in the yard with you dad playing catch, and you don't even remember the bruises 
The pain seems to subside and you're finally happy 

Now at 17, it's fun when you wake up and don't remember what day it is 
Or why it burns when you pee

Now at 18, your boyfriend of two years is only "looking out" for you when he says you can't go to your bestfriend's birthday party
Because at 18, you're grown but not smart or developed 

At 18 your mom dies and that bottle of pill is your only friend 

Now at 19 you're addicted to drugs and the pain
And you truly believe that girl deserved it 

And at 19

Well it stops at 19
