Coming Of Age Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The coming of age to comprehend.
Ongoing events to understand them.
Has little to do,
With emotions affected.
Or how they remain connected to feel.
When one coming of age is left to experience,
How best to keep steps moving forward.
Regardless who believes,
An aging process done to live through.
Should be more an expectation,
That protects one from feeling...
What one never anticipates.
No matter how old.
Or life to have done to experience it.
Never prepares anyone,
For what next to them comes.
Since a coming of age,
Is a mental and physical process.
And no one who goes through it,
Can suggest or recommend...
The best way to do and get that done.
