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

Baydreamer Writes ~ Lauren Scott, Author & Poet 
Very well said 🙂
Thanks so much, Autumn! 🙂
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.
Thank you, but I’m so sorry to hear you went through a painful time when you were younger…
This is one of my favorites because I’m pretty sure many people can relate, especially girls. Keep up the wonderful work, Mom!!
Thanks, Steph!
