thirteen ways

Essay text:

Among the teenage peers Only one was left conflicted It was Holden that veers And two personas were depicted He was in a tug of war Constantly choosing between the two One was mature The other forcing him not to He lacks the care to excel in knowledge And for that from the school he was to be excused It’s the fourth time to acknowledge His further attendance to school was to be refused In New York is where Holden convenes With friends in different scenes He tries to satisfy his means He was torn apart In the middle of two While new sexual feelings depart It brought differing thoughts to review Repulsing and pleasing to endure He was trying not to mature To a play and for a skate She went with him on this date Only to be called a pain in the ass It was Holden who was the ass A drink at a bar To reacquaint with a formal friend Only to find he has not matured to far Holden was juvenile to no end As Phoebe knows him unlike any other His immaturity was vital Phoebe had to guide her brother For Holden’s judgment was suicidal No matter how he tried time could not delay Holden also had to age But it was in the past he tried to stay To avoid maturity for one more page Holden’s answers are all the same Unable to face hypocrisy of adult hood To run away was his only game And only isolation he understood Any chances he would deny At physical or emotional graduation For Holden it was a lie This perfect hatred towards adulthood Was bundled with views of himself It was only Phoebe that would Escape away with him It was his vision of him As the catcher in the rye That made his thought not so dim But hopes for maturity were left to die
