The Last Days Of Adolescence
Remember that one time when everything was just pie in the sky?
It seemed life was easier than a two-piece jigsaw puzzle
Then things started to get a little challenging
Teachers started expecting you to sit still in class, pay attention
Soon, you were expected to start carrying a little of your own weight
Clean up your room, put your things away, mow the lawn
Then that fateful day came
"Get a job"
Ouch
Worse yet
You started thinking
"There has got to be more"
More than this neighborhood, more than these people
So you set out in search of adventure
Navigating your way through the treacherous maze named experience
Like a one-armed kayaker heading towards the falls of Niagara
Hoping to make landfall on Goat Island before the river takes you over
