ADOLESCENCE

On November 5, 2011November 6, 2011 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn PreTeens/Teens

Always looking in the mirror

Dreaming of a beautiful face

Only seeing a sad expression

Living on the edge

Eagerly trying to fit in

Sacrificing true self

Circulating through the school scene

Ebbing emotionally

Not for long though

Control encompasses the soul

Easing into self assurance

I agree with Autumn, well said indeed Lauren. Also very cool how it spells out adolescence. 🙂

  Thanks, Gabby! This style is called Acrostic poetry and this is my first try…:)

Your acrostic is on target, recalls the pain of that time in life…a long time ago for me.

This is one of my favorites because I’m pretty sure many people can relate, especially girls. Keep up the wonderful work, Mom!!
