Teenagers are amazing, <br />I wish the world would see, <br />Just how beautiful we are, <br />How compassionate we can be. <br /> <br />I wish they could take back <br />All the cynical things they've said. <br />And see how we shine, <br />Be positive instead. <br /> <br />Remark on our radiant smiles, <br />And the differences we make, <br />All of the people our lives touch, <br />All of the chances that we take. <br /> <br />Notice how we change, <br />Each and every day, <br />Wanting to leave childhood, <br />Yet desperately wanting to stay. <br /> <br />I wish they could remember, <br />How tough our lives can be, <br />The promises that are broken, <br />The violence that we see. <br /> <br />Yet we still venture onward, <br />Unsure of where the road may lead, <br />Hoping they will take notice, <br />Hoping they will take heed, <br />Of the changes that we've made, <br />Of the power that we hold, <br />Of the wisdom we have hidden, <br />Of the stories yet untold. <br /> <br />I hope the world will notice, <br />What some have alr! eady seen, <br />Teenagers are amazing people, <br />Striving to follow their dreams<br /><br />kimberly alford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/teenagers-are-amazing/
