Ive changed, Im a new person
Better than before, but still pretty bad
Im a teenager.
We change our minds rapidly,
Without telling anyone
We think without speaking
And we speak without thinking.
We admit some feelings
But most we keep hidden
We love who we are and everything about us
On the outside.
But inside, what do we really think of ourselves?
Do we like what we see in the mirror every morning
That person staring back at us, with that blank, lost stare
Like the person we used to be, is still in there, somewhere.
We look at each other, judging with our eyes
Trying to take away the thought
That we are imperfect in any way
That we have a fatal flaw that someone else will point out.
Nobodys perfect, and we are no exception
We judge, we joke, we laugh, we hurt
We hide, we like, we hate, we love
Everything we do has a meaning, its just unclear to others
We try to act tough, like we know what to do
Every minute of every day, when we really are lost
Nobody understands what it is like, for they do not remember
What is was like to be us, trying to figure out the world
We are just like everyone else, but we are different all the same
We have feelings that become hurt, and hearts that become broken
We cry ourselves to sleep at times, thinking of how we wish
To not feel this pain, this shame, or this guilt.
We are not all bad, we are merely confused
In a world of many, we are only few
Despite everything, we stick together
For only we know what it feels like to be
A teenager.

yes, so true! what a stunning write. you've pretty much summed up everything about being a teenager. i particularly liked this bit:
We change our minds rapidly,
Without telling anyone
We think without speaking
And we speak without thinking.
so true. great work.
