Damn it's hard,
So much going on,
Friends in trouble,
Parents acting all wrong,
Loosing old friends,
Pressured to be someone fake,
Felling lost and alone,
Regretting the decisions you make,
Longing for something,
Seeking acceptance,
Somehow your friends,
Can double the pressure,
Peers and role models,
Trying to fit in,
Wanting to learn,
To feel comfortable in your own skin,
Pains and aches,
In the body and mind,
Bad moods looming,
Seems like all the time,
So much advice,
What's wrong and right,
Double the efforts,
To stay out of a fight,
Are you in?
Are you out?
No one understands me!
You want to shout,
Feeling emotions,
That are new and strange,
Even simple things,
Can bring great pain,
Feeling guilty,
The pressure to care,
To look after people,
Although they aren't always there,
Everyone's feeling the same,
But going through different kinds,
Worries and pressures,
Building up on your mind,
Missing people,
Wishing life was greater,
How to deal with these emotions?
Does it get better later?
Seeking freedom,
But longing to belong,
Trying to not be influenced,
Trying to stand individual and strong,
Fits of unreasoned laughter,
And uncontrollable tears,
Damn, this is what we call,
Those teenage years.
