The feeling of clautrophobia is very apparent. There is despair, dejection and disappointment. Why should it be in such a young life facing a near birthday. Sad. + Report this comment |  |

I wanted to write a poem about a teenager getting older, there comes a point when everyone must become independent and the pressures that come with it can be pretty claustrophobic and scary. + Report this comment |  |

     I must say, in the light of your comment above, this is the commentary on the current scenario. The youth are not finding a positive outlet and guidance. They are the future of any nation but their future is bleak. + Report this comment |  |

     This is a good description of the transition between child and adult. Don't listen to those who say there is no future for today's youth. I happen to believe that THEY will be the ones who evoke the best changes to come. =] + Report this comment |  |

i liked this, i got the theme of clastophobia here, but i sensed more, the feeling of getting older wether it being elderly or becoming an adult or parent. + Report this comment |  |

     stuff - that growing up thing is. it is so easy to be controlled and complain - and yet another thing completely to be in control and the only one to blame.

     Very well done. This is the best poem on this theme that I've read. No hanky panky stuff. This was pretty good. Great structure and meaning maintained throughout. + Report this comment |  |
