I miss many things in the past but not this one.


Poem Artwork

 

Repeat it, Never
 
There are many things in my life that I’d like to repeat.
Like my first taste of ice cream and my first grilled meat.
I’d like to feel my first kiss again to compare with my last.
I’d like to repeat occurrences once more from my past.
 
But there is one thing I’d never want to live over again.
It’s those crazy teenage years when hearts never mend.
We thought they were hard back then but nothing like now.
Getting through them nowadays, they should all take a bow.
 
Most of us had our parents to lean on back then.
They’d fix our boo boos and help our hearts mend.
But now children are left many times on their own.
Losing themselves in computers, Ipods and phones.
 
So many parents both have to work these days,
They’re tired and busy during their children’s craze.
The cutting, the tatooing and beer parties in the backyard.
The struggles and the drugs are so unbearably hard.
 
I don’t understand how out of control things can get.
But there is one thing for sure and one winning bet.
To repeat those years I would say, “Never in this life.”
For I wouldn’t survive it, not for one night.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

I like this poem Bonnie! but Me, NOPE! NEVER!
NO way - I was sexually abused by my father, as he "tried" to prey on my friends, I had very few cuz of him!He is still alive
and my mom passed on before him and she knew...
WE must stay strong - to go back to being a teen, never, but pregnant and 21 - YES -
WRITE-ON!
Warmest Blessings and Inner Peace, Warrior Purple Passion Soulful Sheexooo

STay Positive! If you have time PLEASE! read "MY MOM's Husband" about 160 down...in my Poems - BEWARE blunt and a poem/mission statement to help others...
P.s. Problem with teens today ( and society) they leave children be, Solitary life styles/Ipods/computers/etc... It's sad and children don't really realize it! Till they are hooked and friends have the same!

Teenage years are the toughest. I wouldn't want to go there again either.

It's high time we put prayer/discipline back into the homes and schools; maybe today's kids wouldn't be so apathetic, out of control nowadays! Sad! Great write, though!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

You can post poems, I am at a dead lock right now. Cannot seem to get my mind working to put words on. But love reading others, and yours is great and so much the truth here of teenagers these days. The parents really have their hands full controlling them too and showing them it is better to be less into themselves and more into others in the family and their surrounding.
