Recess Forgot To End
Lined with intention,
filled with giving in,
pretend we never meant
for it
to go further than it did.
Well it did,
they absolutely shook their heads.
It shook so fast it broke in half,
we act like little kids.
This playground grew up quick,
we left our innocence behind.
A thousand needles in the sandbox;
swinging higher than treelines.
We trade diseases for a way
to alleviate the pain.
Numb our brains like novocaine;
on this playground we will stay!
