Everyone tells you, <br />they're the best years of your life. <br />The thing they don't tell you, <br />is they are all full of strife. <br /> <br />From a child to a teen, <br />in less then a year. <br />It's a lot to deal with, <br />you have to grow up fast. <br /> <br />As a child you're free, <br />as a teen you feel locked up. <br />A child has no worries, <br />A teen has a lot. <br /> <br />You learn the meaning of love, <br />you discover broken hearts. <br />The worries of being accepted, <br />are the hardest part of all. <br /> <br />What's the 'best' <br />about these years. <br />When as a teen, <br />you live in fear.<br /><br />Vanessa Hernandez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/teen-years/
