That's sort of how I view my entire life.

Entering into adulthood can be a very scary experience. Attractive yet repellent at the same time.<br /><br />An insight into the innocence of childhood that a youth entering puberty is leaving behind is unusual. Most youths view adulthood as a much more desirable and appealing state than your poem indicates.<br />Seeds of wisdom indeed!Penthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226869141298079186noreply@blogger.com
