I'm a Teen (Poem)
Dear parent,
I'm a teen.
Just so you know,
My room ain't that clean.
All I do is sit and tweet.
On Facebook, I'm keen
Liberal. Single. Sometimes mean.
I'm a teen.
My hormones scream.
Sad when I'm high on Dopamine.
Happy when I'm low on Acetycholine.
They cause me to over-eat.
And not have that much of sleep.
How you say I'm a "lazy-ass beast?"
I'm a teen.
I dress a little weird.
I wear no bikinis, only polo and jeans.
I don't dress to impress; I dress to be me.
I'm a teen.
I'm so friendly and sweet.
I walk with headphones and a beat.
Tying to fit in and find a seat.
Though everyone seems to have some heat.
I keep my cools; I'm serene.
I'm a teen.
I suffer from low self-esteem.
My friends are addicted to smoking weed.
While the others are alcohol-freaks
No! I can't fit in; I can't be me!
And you think I'm terrible and deserve no treat?
I'm a teen.
Religiously, I'm in between.
Yes, there's a God; He created me.
But what's my mission? How can I beam?
I have a message, that's what it seems.
I'm a teen.
In no clubs I've been.
I don't date; I'm unseen.
I'm outgoing, I wear sunscreen.
To hide my pains, to hide my fears
Not gonna live Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream"
But let me tell you my dear,
Everything changed this year,
Simply, because I turned eighteen.
How was it like when you were a teen?
