When I was a child- I saw in black and white- everything was obvious- Either right or wrong- No arguments,no pros and cons. Choices were precise- Pure and joyous clarity- Gave me a simple life- So I grew and learned to face the world- Living life that way. And now I feel unprepared- 'Cause black and white turned gray- My unfaltering vision failed- Focus failed my eyes- Where choices were obvious. I can't tell wrong from right- Because today I am a teenager- And nothings quite so clean- I'm seeing through an adult's eyes- A child's worst fear. |

I like this poem. It flows really well and reminds of how it was as a teenager. I liked the black and white of childhood - and those teenage limbo years threw me for a real loop. Good writing. Alison |

it was an okay poem seemed very simple though. I, personally, like more complex vocab. Good job. |

I liked your poem, it has all the right words, but when i read it i don't feel the flow of the words. But that's just me. |
