    gray

    When i was a child I saw black and white. Everything was obvious either wrong or right. No arguements, 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 so unprepared 'cause black and white turned gray. My unfaltering vision failed focus left my eyes. Where choices were once obvious I can't tell wrong from right. Because today I am a teenager and nothing's quite so clear. I'm seeing through an adult's eyes a child's biggest fear.

    Very well said....you have quite a flair...keep up the good work...you have a true message to share.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
