Read the analysis of this great poem below...

In the poem titled “The Panic Of Growing Older”,the poet, Dr Lenrie Peters seemed preoccupied by what can be considered as how some factors: Time, ambition, hope, etc affect the adult stage of human beings.
Lenrie Peters, took age 20 upwards as his case-study to show how the events of adulthood unfold. He revealed that a person begins adulthood with beautiful hopes:
“at twenty stilled by hope of gigantic success and exploration”. Ten years later, one has gained the achievement of
raising a family, one
becomes unnecessarily
busy in domesticity that won’t give room of seeing the moon, one begins to suffer emotional pains due
to inability to achieve
expected goals. He put it this way: “Copybook bisected with red ink

“The child [Aaron] is going to have a rude awakening today after the words he exchanged with me last night,” Mama Havisham captioned the photo below on her Facebook.

“Not only will [h]e find this on the door, but his mattress stripped, and the toys and clothes that I bought confiscated.”

Aaron makes a “teeny tiny bit of money” off his YouTube vids according to his mom, but nowhere near enough to pay her back for covering 13 years of his life, obviously. (Meanwhile, all of us city dwellers are weeping at the beautiful $430 rent.)
