Teenage Years

I see the problems,
and I feel your pain.
Such a hard situation,
with so much strain.

Peer pressure is hard on impressionable minds.
I wouldn't want to relive those years again.
Uncertainty and trying to fit in is what you find.
I don't envy the headaches and tears.

Is a mother's love enough to win you back?
From an unhealthy lifestyle that has waged it's attack?
Can it pull you out of the deep, black hole you've fallen into?
Can it save your true self, that still lives deep inside of you?

Can she hold you in her arms, and love it all away?
Will you let her try enough to live another day?
Do you believe she can't possibly understand?
All the problems that you face, as she reaches out her hands.

Don't be so niave to think that she doesn't care,
Teenage years.......we have all been there.

    Oye, yeah, we've all been there! To be honest, I don't think I'd want to relive those years either. Very cool poem from a Mom that understands and remembers what it was like. :) Your kids are lucky to have you, twin2!

    Thank you. I try. They are too little to worry about that yet, but I'm sure we will have to deal with it one day.

    a well thought out poem. You were very clear in it...good job on datta1
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
