At Five,the world around seems confusing
The moves are mesmerizing, so amusing.
One knows no lies and smiles
Plays and explores,counting upto miles.
At Fifteen,one is full of energy and zest
One is impulsive,there's no desire for rest.
One dwells in dreams and fantasies
One enjoys the company of friends, like a swarm of bees.
At Thirty,one feels to have a permanent bond
With a person one wants to be and is fond...
One develops a true sense of responsibility
One strives to achieve and gain stability.
At Fifty,one loses all charm and desire
The level of spirituality, goes higher and higher.
One enjoys the company of members in family
Wants to spend the rest of his life,happily...
At Seventy,one likes the company of peers
With them,he shares the memories,smiles with eyes,full of tears...
One often feels connected with the Lord
Feels,the ultimate path,leads to the Almighty...God.
Peers are someone like you, they make you feel happy and new.
Peers are someone you can relate to, they have many things in common, and you feel like it is you.
Peers are a group of people, that you claim are your people, you can relate to them, and have many things in common.
Peers are someone you put first, you believe almost everything they tell you, and have a lot of faith in them.
Peers are the ones you always want to be around, they make you feel safe and feel they will always have your back in a time of need when you feel down.
Peers are the best, we want to surround ourselves with our peers for life, making us live with a feeling of calm and complete happiness.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Being a teen
Is no simple stint
A time in our lives
We’re twisted and bent
An era of push
A decade of pull
A capsule of years
A life lesson tool
Period of growth
To mold who we’ll be
One day we’ll look back
And then we will see
unlike her peers
she doesn't bite

In halls of learning, we gather round,
Peers united, common ground is found.
Shared laughter echoes, memories made,
Together we grow, our bonds are displayed.
With every step, we learn and share,
Supporting each other, without a care.
In times of need, they lend a hand,
A friendly nudge, to help us stand.
Through trials and tribulations, we face,
Peers by our side, a steady pace.
Their smiles and cheers, a guiding light,
Illuminate our path, through darkest night.
In peer groups, we find our place,
A sense of belonging, a warm, safe space.
Where we can be ourselves, wild and free,
And grow into the best version of me.
So, I'm now fine with misty eyes,
Right from my slumber my heart cries,
With my weary face full of fears,
I still played guitar to my dears,
their smiles made me sigh in disguise.
My moans cajole grief to revise,
Etching joy to place me on highs;
oils of lilacs restored my cheers,
So, I'm now fine.
My newfound joy is a surprise,
Just last night, it waved me goodbyes,
Leaving me with eyes full of tears,
That couldn't be dried by my peers;
meaning if I fall, I can rise.
So, I'm now fine.
Who are these peers to whom
I'm supposed to belong to?
Certainly not my soul mates, nor kin.
I fear they're lackey leerers,
peering and sneering,
in unsavory ways.
Smearing my reputation
by claiming I'm in their
in-crowd, all endearing
and revering when I'm not.
I'm a mutineer from
the peer besmear,
So let's be clear about that!
Watch its lips, did they move,
when 'AI' my dummy doll spoke
the words of a billion
ventriloquist puppeteer peers?
Watch the dummy's eyes,
if they wildly rolled from side to side
AI is tripping onto the misspoken,
trying to be original, creative,
pulling its own strings
making things up, as it goes off script, numb, dumb,
misspeaking, shamming, faking it,
hallucinating on dumbness.
A toast to peers with a glass of red wine
From juicy grapes of the leafy grape vine
To honor a person and raise your glass
No matter if they're a lad or a lass
It's to honor all of our noble peers
And do not forget to always say cheers
Invest in a friendship to bring you wealth
But never forget to drink to good health
Truth is, my fellow peers throughout my school years,
I am the unintentional eavesdropper, the one who is so quiet that I actually listen.
I listen to everything you whisper or speak loudly of to each other,
Sitting at my desk working as hard as I can.
Honestly, part of me feels like a mad genius who feels high above you,
Yet another part is someone who can absorb your behaviour or speech,
Someone who deep down is just exactly as lazy and talkative, when I want to be.
Impair your senses
Close your eyes
Cover you ears
Don't make a sound
Don't think about tenses
Past, present, or in the future what lies
You or your fears
Choose, but not aloud
For the rest are tempted
To uncontrollably seek your cries
To embrace the façade of peers
To enjoy every frown
Choose yourself
Heal with time
If you must, shed tears
But remember why you chose to shine in the crowd
What would the world be like
If those on top of living
learn to look down and see the life of others ,
who's struggles and throes to survive for existing,
And learn to stand in one good stead
to share their winnings-
in life to them was given.
How greatful all affluent
will help the poverty-striken;
In any ways they know,
as long as its from the heart that sharing.
And so it seems to me,
their would be less down-and-out that yearning.
When a crackerjack bear a hand to those amatuer,
who is much scrabble ;
And through such effort ,
all things will be apprehend with flying colors;
That even in education
when a slow-witted student befriend with sharp-witted one;
Then would teach an amigo the lessons taken
to pass an exam.
What if a beauty queen is with an uppealing girl,
That instead of envy for physique to feel,
love the uniqueness,
for beauty comes from within.
These are just few,
of much to tell situations
of helping, of sharing, of feeling the true empathy,
That these who give hand-holding
are heaven's sent;
To make the world such a wonderful of living.
When I looked at peers in a school,
The heart start shivered within.
But now- girls ignite my fuel,
From peers shivering my skin!

These words escape the mouths of my peers.
Every place I turn there are the wretched expressions
These very sounds they’ve come to learn over the years.
They speak them all with no explanations.
They are added to sentences with no real meaning.
When emotions are on the rise these phrases show themselves.
But in reality they are just demeaning.
These words are just so unneeded for yourselves.
Yes, I have used the words before.
Only a few times, so there is no need to fret.
However, I have reasons for when I swore.
When you hit your elbow that’s just the noise you get.
So don’t tell me that I am in the wrong.
The ones who are mistaken are the ones who lack a cause.
If you say those without a purpose it rings like a gong.
So if you think of repeating these horrible words just take a pause.
