Catholic School Girls

Catholic School Girls always seem demure and calm,
cloistered beneath the walls of sanctity their
imaginations roam, dying to be set free,
repressed by the cloaks of chastity
they long to grow up and set their hearts
ablaze, but the religious life and their parents,
keeps their daydreaming in a haze,
until boys start piquing their curiosity
and their hearts start beating rampantly,
All the golden rules they have learned,
goes out the window and infatuation takes its place,
Sometimes the crushes they display takes them all the 
way into a life they are not ready for, then there are the times
when their feelings get spurned, making them think they have 
nowhere to turn, causing little women to think of the unusual,
such as elaborate stories to get their way,
especially when their secret love interests stop 
giving them the time of day.

The "chastity" and golden rules were constantly taught to us by the nuns, Margaret. Going from a Catholic elementary school to a public high school was a shock. Hormones were suddenly running rampant and there were many disappointments along the way. Really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Best wishes, Carolyn
