Teen-age
The ringing of a new era enlightens me as we dwindle down the seconds.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, life passes by, ideas are force fed
Numbers and letters... letters, letters, letters why these letters?
A year passes by we "learn" valuable things
Why are they valuable? What will it help with? What college? Why college?
Did great minds go to school? Did great minds go to college?
Ideas are taught? rather ideas are experienced.
Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Dave Thomas, David Green...what did they have that we didn't
Sitting in lecture all day long, what ideas will come along.....
Memories take time, and pass or go, but in reality, they are extremely slow.
We don't need others to enforce our lives, we need our lives to enforce our life.
Experiences, memories, and parental guidance.
Stress, Death, and raging hormones.
What else can make life worse? What else can burn this wound further.
Nothing. Nothing at all.
But in the end, we appreciate the burn, a burn that felt so good.
A subtle star at the end of the story
Because when we age, what scars will show proof?

This peice is about the hard times we experience as a teenager. Whether it be school, puberty, stress, or rules. However, in the end, when we get old, if we don't experience those hardships, we will never remember the memories we had from them. We appreciate those memories
