Kid

By Abilene

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I looked at that kid sitting in his desk, And suddenly he became a symbol Of my generation. He was big, adult-like, and it scared me He scared me because I've come to find out That something in life is amiss... Then, I knew, my childhood was gone.
