Adult Actors & Actresses Acting Abnormally Afflicts Adolescents' Apperception and Attention
Parents Protecting Progeny Perorate Possible Positive Pairings
Sometimes we're afraid to let go
Of the ones we cherish the most
Cause we're afraid of the harm
That can be caused
When they allow others to get in
Too Close
Locking them away,
Sheltering them from the world
Isn't the best way to go
We have to let them explore
Take steps out the door
Come into their own
Like a blossoming flower unfurls
When we argue and they refute
When we have disputes
We just want to keep them safe
Yet, that love comes at a cost
Of making mistakes
As they'll search for love elsewhere
Where their feelings will be misplaced
When they get hurt
When they get damaged
We feel we're the ones
That will need bandages
We can't imprison them with walls
Floors
&
Ceilings
To protect them forever
Those are improper dealings
We have to guide them through life
To break free and find real, genuine care
And Not Escape into
"Disillusioned Feelings"

Oof, yes, I often think about how challenging it would be to be a parent these days...all the modern influences 🫣
It's the hardest thing! The sleepless nights when they are tiny are nothing next to this challenge!
Well-wrought! To parent is a difficult thing and moreso now than ever with so many evil influences vying for their attention in the short attention span theater of modern CULTure.
Yes, so true. I don't know why, (maybe I struggled to break free) I never had a problem to let my kids explore the world, from small on. But it feels strange, to see them as adults suddenly while still feeling young myself. :D
We do indeed. And we need to acknowledge the role of separating from the family of origin in our teenagers, it's important to let it happen.
I'll just stay away from love, lol. Too risky!
