Array ( [sid] => 27921 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Teenage waste [time] => 2003-11-25 12:21:25 [hometext] => Looking back at my teenage years so far. [bodytext] => It's all 'cool' isn't it.
I'd know, I've felt it..
I've been the one standing in the playground with the hangover and the wanting-to-imress whilst holding in,
holding it all in.

Teenage waste.
All around me I can't seem to swim,
I'm in this water but I can't seem to swim but I don't want to drown.

I've heard it.
I've heard them gloat and I've heard the stories,
so this is called:growing up?
In the bush between dripping acid on your tounge,
or behind the shed- my friend got raped,
but how we'd label it 'going further'
and we still kept our smiles through the screams whilst we drowned.

Teenage waste.
All around me I can't seem to swim,
I'm in this water but I can't seem to swim but I don't want to drown.
Don't want to drown.
Don't want to grow up.

Maybe we should tell, maybe we should tell(someone,
between smokin' and tokin'...
and seeing how long you can hold it in,
you never think you'll be the one,
you'd never dream to be the one,
caught up in this teenage squander.

And were drowning.
We're not learning,
we're not growing we are drowning.....
see how long you can hold it in [comments] => 6 [counter] => 1281 [topic] => 43 [informant] => broken-glass [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Dear BG,
I really appreciated this poem. It brought out a point that so many never get. The point of growing up. They want to stay teenagers for ever! Change is hard....really hard, but experience is even better.
I loved your poem GG. I think one of the best I've ever read from you.
