Life, the Obstacle Course

An Adolescent, Bathed by Fire

These are, the years, of our transitions, from childhood, into adulthood, and no matter what happened during this, we all, ended up, burned…
An adolescent, bathed by fire, s/he started, walking the floors, without knowing, that there was, a gasoline spill there just before s/he walked into the room, nor did s/he foresee, that someone was, going to, lit up that match.

not my picture…
So, as s/he shuffled and dragged her/his feet, the trail of gasoline followed, then, KA-BOOM! Someone LIT up that match, and, this adolescent, although s/he saw the fire coming towards her/him, s/he couldn’t, get away in time, and so, s/he became, branded, by the markings of her/his own youth.
An adolescent, bathed by fire, and, the fire still, didn’t start as s/he entered into the teenage years, oh no, it’d, started, way before that, when s/he was, a young child!
An adolescent, bathed by fire, because, it’s, a part of growing up, and, how will you become regenerated, with a brand new life, if you don’t, get burned up first???

like this???  Not my illustration still…
