Adolescence

growing up, maturing, aging

 

Nobody.

I dunno.

Not me.

The ghosts of my childhood.

Hidden gremlins of ethics,

The malevolence ensues.

We are blamed for deceit.

Our parents never believed.

As i aged,

I gained wisdom

And the belief faded.

Only to reappear

In my children's

Words...
