Sand between your toes
Soft and silky
Or
Sand between your toes
Filled with crabs, bacteria, and who knows.

A summer day
Relaxing, a paradise
Or

Sweltering hot, wanting to launch yourself into the cold waters of the bay.

A roller coaster ride
Exhilarating, the rush of your life
Or
A roller coaster ride
It makes you want to hurl, curl up and hide.

Its all a matter of perspective.

    We are the ones
    Who are lost.

    Welcome to the land of problematic kids.
    We are the ones
