Teenagers In Adult World Poem by John A'Hern

A teenager in an Adult World
Comments made none left unsaid
Blame game full steam ahead
Others look on unsure of the end
Looks in the eye will tell if lies
You are to blame words etched in time
Growing up happened in a flash
Replied to with ones you trusted
Mentors, teacher's the ones you trust
A World of comments misunderstood
Recognise the intent, blame laid at their feet
Answers to the intent said with bravery
Always taught to be obedient
Words flowed, later in life understood
Stood and walked away from the fray
Leave them to their World of non-fair play
A life to live without blame
All quiet from unsure onlookers
Tomorrow comes a better future
Rid of pretenders looking for assurance
On with life grown up in an instant
Never told how or passed on
Parents voices added to the throng
