"Oh, I know -
Teenage
Angst.
I remember

How it was.
Everything seemed
Like a matter
Of life-and-death

Every breakup was
The end of the
World, a veritable
Apocalypse."

You
Don't
Remember.
If you did, if you

Let yourself
Feel and
Let go of your
Barriers and floodgates and masks

You
Might
Remember.
But you don't.

Because you -
Just one out of those millions of
Adults out there
Dismissing my opinions and

Personality as
Mere hormones and
Passing
Phases -

You don't
Remember.
Or you would know
How I feel, you would

Understand my fury when
You dismiss ME,
Dismiss my anger, my sadness as
Teenage angst.

You
Don't
Remember.
It's

Okay;
They
Never
Really do.
