An Adolescent In The Eyes Of Others

An adolecent in the eyes of others Eyes lurking from a far Their thoughts and opinions linger in mind Wondering of what they are But knowing they can't be too kind Those stares that seep to the bone Weighing down on us to find out why If only we had known Age becoming a wedge Splitting us a part Taking us to the edge Thinking of how different we may be Could the style of music change the way we see Going back to the time of " The Zombies" Comparing them to " The Black eyed peas" Or even "Bee Gees" And "The Black Keys" We see with our ears But can we hear with what we see To them we're an adolescent But to us we are competent Could it be that history repeats itself On a loop like reruns of our favourite shows Becoming just another trophy for the shelf Or could it just be that bad apples spoil the rest A few still ripe for the taken Trying to separate themselves to leave the nest And if they manage to split from the pack Things still become out of wack Only to be forced to experience the glares by elders Your still just an adolescent in the eyes of others

Enjoy your youth. The important thing is to live each stage of your life in a way that pleases God and blesses the lives of others. Jesus can give you strength to do that. "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father except by Me!"

It's hard for most people to grow up, often exasperated by people around who don't understand what's happening. It can be depressing. I was slow to mature physically, but much more mature mentally so I had the upper hand when it came to getting through it quite well. Although nearly never outgrew the pimples. ;-)

And i hope I never grow up, at least not to much. There are too many wonders to behold.
