Memories from the girls of my generation
Folder:
Other stuff Do you remember?
When we were kids
Kids having kids
Or wanting kids
Do you remember your first hit?
Or the first time you were hit?
Do you remember our dads?
Before they left, before they hurt us
Do you remember the first time you cut yourself?
Or the first time you overdosed
Do you remember when we were kids?
And all we could think of was how to get out, escape
Do you remember all the school shootings?
Columbine is synonymous with death not flowers
Do you remember the first time one of your friends died?
Car accidents and suicides
Marriages at 18 divorces at 20
Babies at 13, 14, 16…
Do you remember the first time you were raped?
Do you remember …”if you love me you will do it”
Do you remember when we were kids?
Starving ourselves to be beautiful
Trying so hard to fit in
Do you remember the brand name clothes you couldn’t afford
Do you remember getting beat up at school
Or beating people up or standing by and doing nothing
Do you remember fun, or playing with dolls
No of course not- we weren’t children
