Adolescent

Adolescent 


Happiness and joy, smiles and giggles
Crayons and markers, colorful pictures
Swing set and slide, playground wonder
Kisses and hugs, bedtime rituals

Sadness and confusion, go away
Somber and distance, I'm okay
Closed door and isolation, stay away

Mommy and Daddy, help me through
Kisses and hugs, I still love you
Push and shove, hold me tight
Darkness and despair, I see the light

Happiness and joy, smiles and giggles
