Of Teen-age Years

    awkwardly waiting, ‘in-between’
      not yet adults, no longer tweens

    larvae-like lurking, behind-the-scenes
      ‘fore bursting their shells, onto life’s screen

I enjoyed reading your awkward teens write. It can be hard for most. Have a blessed day/week.....................

I think it is hard for most, especially those who do NOT think that they are God's gift to the world, to women, or to men...

Hi Gershon, I did enjoy my teenage years,which started in the sixties for me, It was the time of the swinging sixties in London, so much has changed since sadly not for the better.
