Teenagers

Teenage angst buried inside,
Taking lives like cyanide.
Always deeper than it seems,
Hidden low in self-esteem.
Parties, drugs, and sex appeal,
Perceived innocence to steal.
Drama, fake love, unreal friends,
Striving after latest trends.
Always wanting to be loved,
Drunk and gone, she gave it up.
Confusion, hurt, putrid hate,
Finding someone new to date.
Yelling in your mother's face,
Longing for personal space.
This is what it’s like for us,
This is what we won’t discuss.
Pelvis deep in bitter strife,
Finding who we are in life.
