The years before adulthood
those awkward teenage days
fighting with the hormones
emotions from apathy, to rage
Changes in chemistry rampant
thoughts tangled, misconstrued
adults don't remember or understand
words and advice, intrude
Times like this I have to wonder
does it know? as the pupa's made
becoming moth, or butterfly
and does it feel, betrayed?

Adulthood is overrated.
I wanted to be 16 forever, I just didn't know it, till I was 50.
