Untitled

Only 14 and eager to find love, she sneaks out at four in the morning Persuading her best friend to come along – meet someone new Hence at the nearest park an unfamiliar friendship is formed Sketchy as it may sound, Anthony grew to be an addition to the bad influences that were to come – coming of age But what did she know, she just wanted to fall in love Only 15 and again she met someone knew, who showed her love Nights spent away from home, with David by her side in the morning Snorting candy in his restroom – new experiences come with age Pupils dilated, shaky hands bringing them closer every other weekend anew She found what she wanted, the paraphernalia was an addition But just as simple as love was found, deceptions were bound to form Only 16 and life was a pool of mixed emotions treacherously forming Then Alberto came to show her that a broken heart still has hope for love But she could not grasp the fact, so he became merely an addition to the list of emotions she could no longer face each morning Suicidal in thought and action but this was nothing new For her arm wore a scar of each fear that surfaced as she aged Only 17 and her mentality mistakenly surpassed her age She contented with denying love as soon as it started to take form For the season had passed and her heart rejected anything new that entered in the form of affection – disdaining love Instead she found emotion in other harm that morning Being careless and carefree came easy when candy was an addition Only 18 and her priorities were set aside as addiction from the addition took over and washed away the intellect accumulated at her age As she discovered how to assimilate in a declining community some morning For the ignorance that surrounds her finally came to show form She was crowned Prom Queen one night but still denied to feel the love Not accepting the popularity that deemed from being someone new Only 19 and her life takes a route that will reckon something new Responsibilities wave over as her past becomes the addition to the addictions that engulf her, for they fill the void of love A void so profoundly misguided in context to her age One that could never be accepted thus failing to form Reminding herself of what derived from that morning Untitled is the new chapter that will come a certain age, as the addition of what has been expected for so long forms – the love that she needs in order to be at peace and not wake in the morning.

It is a beautiful poem about life ,hope and the world entire may live in it with passion and awaken new great expectations after the poetical moment of solitude .At the other side of the clouds ,there is to find the sunshine.Keep your face in the sunshine,and you won`t count the shadows.Best regards,O.B

Sorry, Marielle, our children don't realize the pain that they put on the parent. We see them suffer and we die a little inside. Blessings my dear
