My teenage daughter
Slips & slides around
Her emotional
Obstacle course
Of prickly hindrances:
Exasperation, Aggravation, Irritation.
Emotions rising up
So unexpectedly
Before her, us… me
She finds it hard
To circumnavigate
Their prevailing influences.
They prick & sting.
She leaves behind
Bleeding droplets
Of lost innocence.
Bruised heart,
Wounded ego.
Too close &
So far apart.
