After one night on a long call
And the next on the swings,
I inhale the scent of pure air
As you have created for me
An escape into a fresh start.
Author notes
Reflexing....
Fits in with the contest because in the teenage years is when we experience some hard losses and struggle with a lot of pain. Some cut, some use drugs, some commit suicide, some write it out, and others find their relief in others. Enough explained.

Oh how true!!! I am facing something that goes along with this, as my baby graduates for high school in like three weeks, and well, I have been lucky in the respect that none of my boys ever got into the cutting, the drugs or anything. One of them is right here on AP and writes things out...
wow!!!
Best of luck in this contest!

I left AP because I lost my muse... but I lost more than that when I left all my friends here... Glad I came back Thanks for your comment! (Takes a great mom to raise boys without any of it..)
