Perhaps Seems As Maybe Appears

Perhaps I did splash a dash too much when I was growing up. Seems I was selfish one wish too many when merely a pup. Maybe I acted disrespectful a pitiful time too long when just a bouncy hiccup. Appears I misled my part an upstart too often, yepper, yea, yes, oh, yup. Actually, perhaps seems as maybe appears and it varies for individual frontiers. But, seriously, my young path developed my soul spheres so I would truthfully embrace my adult tears and cheers. ... CayCay Jennings January 22, 2017

Donna - I must let you know how much your comment means to me for I have long pursued feedback on this write. I was quite young when I wrote it, I challenged myself with its depth / meaning and felt I'd succeeded. I never had validation though, so thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your response to an old posting. Many read older postings without sharing their response. I don't do that when a poem bubbles up in me, no matter when posted. Thank you, again, and blessings to you ... CayCay

I really enjoyed how this poem was deigned and crafted and the title was amazing. I like how you have described something many of us can relate to, from start to finish. Sadly some never find the ending as you have penned. Nicely done CayCay

I don't know any teenager who gets through the teen years unscathed. It is a deeply emotional time in which the choices we make can change the rest of our lives. Beautifully penned CayCay! 7 ; )

A good conclusion for the "but, seriously" phrase for the contest. Good luck for the contest, CayCay.

Introspection at its best. I would have come to terms with "I was just conforming," and would have not reached the embracing part.
