The tale of coming of age

 The stage of youthfulness is the most eventful part of a person's life. Everybody has a different tale to tell, the good and bad times. Regardless of the things we were told nothing can prepare anyone for what lies ahead.

Is it to sigh, smile or cry?

This is much more than a mother said to her child.

The words they spoke weren't enough actuality 

Against the horrid reality, we would face in senility 

They said stop tugging to her hem

Face the challenges and overcome them

But do they know that life wields a gun?

When you choose growth then run

The tale is ever so long to tell

 Worse than an ambush my land chose to sell

Its rejection, repudiation, hardly ever celebrations 

Struggles, hurdles, troubles where's mediation? 

And when the resolve reduces.. 

Battle for verity increases.
