A Response to Leah’s Irony Prompt

They said this was going to be easy.
I laughed.

These hormones were a curse.
More to others than me.

Stuck in-between,
adult and child.

Not Beautiful.
Brutal.

This is based on Leah’s amazing prompt-

Embracing Irony as Alchemy for Transformation

Thanks a lot, Leah J.🕊, for this prompt, I have tried something a bit different with it, hope it isn’t too out of bounds ❤😄.

This is my first response, but I promise it won’t be the last.
❤❤❤

I’d also like to sincerely thank Kathy Jacobs for adding me into the Chalkboard family. It is an absolute honor to be writing here.
