Why do I keep using the words coming of age and actualization? Occasionally, we recoil from the sting of growing pains, but still we must go forward. It's just like a child who hates going to bed. Each day winds down to that dreaded moment. Little by little the child will become creative, cunning, and even desperate to avoid this moment. No matter what they invent, reality remains, the day is ending and bedtime's beginning. Eventually, they learn the time is inevitable. But it may take a few chastenings before they comply...

My name is VPain, I am a mother of three and a striving poet. I enjoy cooking, laughing, loving and learning. I am currently a slave to society's blue collar world, and a part-time artist. I wish there were ways for poets to always have work. Because poetry can be used everywhere! I encourage you to scope out my excerpt and I would be more than happy to exchange pdf's and get some reviews circulating. I would also be willing to exchange FB likes or retweets for fellow iAuthor's like myself. (vpain1 (https://www.deviantart.com/vpain1)) Find Hear Me Roar on Facebook!
