I wear clothes two sizes too big.
I listen to loud music.
Irebel.
Please understand,
I'm just a teenager.
I don't alwayslisten.
I don't really care about algebra II.
I think going out is moreimportant than cleaning my room.
Please understand,
I'm just young.
Imake mistakes.
I don't think things through.
I won't admit it but I needhelp.
Please understand,
I'm just growing up.
I laugh when youdon't.
I do things you never did.
I do things you never would do.
Pleaseunderstand,
I'm just different.
I cry.
I don't have all theanswers.
I hurt even if I don't show it.
Please understand,
I'm justhuman.
I have questions.
I question you.
I question myself.
Pleaseunderstand,
I'm just trying to find myself,
please understand.
