Just Teen Ager... Poem by Fasika Ayalew

Just teen ager
Fumbling for a trail
Some tend to jock
Some tend to mock
Some tend to score
Some tend to fool around
Some tend to love
Soon to fall out
Some tend to challenge
Some tend to give in
Some tend to cool down
Some tend to simmer
Just teen ager...
Tip toeing to a wider edge
They rise and fall like a boat on sail
As they fumble for a trail
Safe or unsafe, ashore till they reach
Fumbling...searching
Some tend to jock
Some tend to mock
Some tend to pursue
Some thing to know
For some it is elusive
Just eldorado...
Unknown path passing through
Right or wrong, false or true
On the river of youth they sail
As they fumble for a trail
Trail for life...
