Notes About The Poem

Copyright © All Rights Reserved

- Adolescence -

   My tender youth
   Untouched and fragile
   Unfazed by the ticking of time

   Challenges
   Behavior and rules
   Eventful and demanding
   Thoughts and reflections
   Milking the cows in the barn
   five o'clock in the morning
   before breakfast

   Physical stimulation
   through play and work
   No phone or internet
   Facebook,
   instagram or
   snapchat

   The future
   is created
   of the past
   Focus on dreams
   set goals
