What ever happened to the girl with the smiles? <br />Now she sits in her room and cries for a while, <br />What happened to the fat boy who hated taking pictures? <br />Hes been replaced by a skinnier prettier picture, <br /> <br />What happened to the girl who never cared what they thought? <br />She got noticed and loved and now shes a jock, <br />What happened to the little girl on the inside? <br />She got scared, ran away, and left to go hide, <br /> <br />These are the kids you used to know, <br />The ones you once loved, <br />The once you used to hold, <br />This is what happens as you get old, <br />You change your ways for good and gold, <br /> <br />What happened to the artist who could write with paint? <br />She left out of town and moved far away, <br />What happened to the skinny boy wannabe rock star? <br />He discovered Mc Donalds while driving in his car. <br /> <br />What happened to the quiet girl who was allways so good? <br />She decided to smoke the the girls bathroom, <br />What ever happened to the emo kid with a gun? <br />In one muted bang, He decided he was done. <br /> <br />These are the kids you used to know, <br />The ones you once loved, <br />The once you used to hold, <br />This is what happens as you get old, <br />You change your ways for good and gold,<br /><br />Dani Baxter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-kids-you-used-to-know/
