Doing Without
Many children and teens
All over the world struggle
With something.
Either within themselves
Or through interpersonal relationships.
They have to try to do without
Certain people in their lives. Or sometimes children have to learn to do without
Love from other people because of the way they have treated those relationships.
Teens
Themselves
Struggle
With things really unimaginable. Something
Has to change. But they're not accustomed to change. Something
That has them bound to not want to change may be greater than what we
may notice from their struggle.
So, they have learned to grow accustomed of doing without
Certain things that they, themselves
Will need for survival. Or even in relationships.
Teens
Have learned to be teens
While developing new relationships
But still trying to keep the past ones. Yet something
Is telling these kids to move on for they, themselves
Are way too intelligent to struggle.
For facing the battle may be tough, but doing without can cause the
means of a life.
