Somewhere in the Middle <br />-Alycia <br /> <br /> <br />A journey lies ahead, for all teenagers today. <br />A journey to adulthood, our youth to kiss away. <br />But as we go we find ourselves at a truly awkward stage. <br />We're partially unripe, sketchy and crude at this tender age. <br />We're old enough to make a choice, yet still young in many ways. <br />Too young to pack our bags and go, too old to want to stay. <br />Young enough for fun and games, too old for care free lives. <br />Young enough for hopes and dreams, yet for reality we strive. <br />Old enough for heartfelt pain, too young to fine the cure. <br />Too old for childish ways of past, too young to be mature. <br />Old enough to fall in love and give our hearts away. <br />But still too young to understand just why we feel this way. <br />We're trusted, loyal, proud and true. <br />Yet, scolded, sneered and scorned. <br />Between the role of adult and child, we are somewhere torn. <br />Like an uncompleted work of art, we're awkward, unsure, half-baked. <br />But be patient please, for we're on our way to becoming something great.<br /><br />A Voice Within<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/somewhere-in-the-middle-2/
