She has all the answers <br />and time stretches before her like an eternity... <br />her own truths resonate loudly within her mind <br />drowning out all whispers of reason <br /> <br />She's aware of herself, her ego's intact <br />but her traitorous body is becoming a stranger... <br />she's morphing into a woman <br />and the rules are changing fast <br /> <br />She's desperately trying to find herself... <br />the woman she's destined to be <br />but the child within fights her <br />every step of the way <br /> <br />She's caught in a vortex of confusion <br />where no one understands her plight... <br />she's a woman-child tangled in an emotional web <br />and she never knows which way to turn <br /> <br />The lonely teen is isolated within herself... <br />and her penchant for the dramatic leaves her <br />in an inhospitable wasteland... <br />with no connection to reality<br /><br />Nancy Crossman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lonely-teen-2/
