It’s tough to be a teenage, <br />no one really knows <br />what the pressure is like in school, family, <br />Friends & relationships <br />this is how it goes <br />I wake up ever morning, <br />and stare into this face. <br />I wanna be good lookin, <br />but i feel like a disgrace. <br />My friends they seem to like me, <br />If I follow through their dare. <br />But when I try to be myself, <br />They never seem to care. <br />My mom, well she keeps saying, <br />I gotta make the grade. <br />While both my parent love me, <br />it slowly seems to fade. <br />It seems like everyone I know, <br />is trying to be so cool. <br />And everytime I try, <br />I end up just a fool. <br />I've thought about taking drugs, <br />I really didn’t want you to know. <br />But I just don’t fit in, <br />And It’s really starting' to show. <br />Maybe if I make the team, <br />I'll stand out in the crowd. <br />If they could see how hard I try, <br />I know they would be proud. <br />You see I'm still a virgin, <br />My friends they can't find out. <br />'Cause if they knew the truth, <br />I know they'd laugh and shout. <br />Sometimes I really get so low, <br />I want to cash it in. <br />My problems really aren't so bad, <br />If I think of how life’s been. <br />Sometimes im really lost, <br />and wonder what to do. <br />I wonder where to go, <br />Who can i talk to <br />It's tough to be a teenager, <br />Sometimes life's not fair, <br />I wish I had somewhere to go to, <br />And someone to CARE.<br /><br />Courtney Lynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-tough-to-be-a-teenager-another-poem-i-really-like-and-its-totally-true/
