Analysis of Adolescence
When did I experience the change?
Was it within some range?
This change, from kid to adult,
From laughter to serenity, where life assaults,
Threatens to take us from our carefree mood,
To where life becomes primitive and crude.
The question really is: Can we go back?
Can we fade back from black?
In the past, naivety clouded the mind,
Before we were combated with evil of every kind,
The answer lies inside you, in wait,
And answer that any sum would equate.
