We thought we were so damn smart
Acting like we knew what’s up
Like we were in on the secret
Knowledge is far different than experience
In the world of immature emotions
Never would we admit that we were lost, just
Going through the motions of our newfound power
_____
Very quickly we found ourselves underwater
Aspirating on our ego and our need
Go further, we dared each other
I can do this, what can you do?
Now I can see us for what we really were
All powerful and awe-inspiring
Sad, starry-eyed little girls
