The Harsh Reality of Facing Independence

A free verse poem of this scary fact.

Youths can possess a naïve mentality,

Condemning authority with passion.

 

Seeking a quest for freedom,

Battling the restraints from parental rules.

 

Unaware that the chains are for protection,

Shielding them from the weapons on earth.

 

Independence strikes with extreme force,

Knocking adults down with responsibility.

 

The desired dream is now feared,

Frightened by the accountable freewill.
