Growing Up

I wrote this around the same time as On Call Sex Doll. It was a particularly angsty time after getting kicked out/leaving home, and it feels appropriate today when I'm feeling icky.

Welcome to your teens
Where moments of insanity or vanity
--- aren't they the same thing?
Not only burn bridges to the ground but
Scorch entire towns
Not yet with a complex gray matter
It's easy to shred it quickly to tatters
What'd it all mean anyway?
You can't know until the end of the show
When the performers chase you out of the aisles
Grab what you can
You'll want to destroy that too, later.
Kill the memories, only to see
the way life was, was better.
