Adolescence
Period of incessant strain,
Storm, strive and stress;
This the most crucial time,
That a child has at adolescence.
One year to age seven,
It’s the period of cradle golden;
When nothing is left unsatisfied,
That a child may randomly ask.
Up to twelve years of age,
This the unstable tenure of tweenage;
When nubile damsels outgrow boys,
In vivid physique and psychosex.
At that uncertain storming age,
Some have perving mind to ravage;
While still some stare at opposite sex,
With coyness to incite love.
Many entrapped their male beloved,
With sweet voice and skimpy dress;
While the others the scopophilic,
Sneak and peep to cool their urge.
This the type called erythrophobic,
Who avoid crowd lest they get blush;
With friends and phones they mingle,
To hide their fear and psychosis.
At the waning of late teenage,
This the time for lovely boys;
When they surpass their opposites,
By so called intellect and strength.
From thirteen up to nineteen years,
That’s the very age called teenage;
When the child is soft and sweet,
Ready for plaster like wetted cement.
If not properly well guided,
A child would be at adverse fate;
This the crucial-most of all ages,
To mould-up their bending minds.
