thDeath of an Innocent

small, weak
vulnerable baby
entering this world
small, gullible
curious child
listening to your words
small, innocent
awkward teen
trying to fit in

take a hit
"just once" she said
then does it again

bad mouths
naughty words
steals once...
"my friends say it*s cool"
twice...

there goes another
death of an innocent
