Teenagers are amazing
I wish the world can see,
Just how beautiful we are,
How compassionate we can be.
I wish they could take back
All the bad things they say about us
And see how much we shine
Be positive instead
Remark on our radiant smiles,
And the different we make.
All of the people our lives touch
All of the changes that we take,
Notice how we change
Each and everyday
Wanting to leave childhood
Yet desperately wanting to stay,
I wish they remember
How though our lives can be
The promises that are broken
The violence that we see
Yet still we venture out to the world
Unsure of where the road might lead,
Hoping they will take notice
Hoping they’ll take heed
Of the changes that we hold,
Of the wisdom we have hidden
Of the story yet untold.
I hope the world will notice what some have
Already seen,
Teenagers are amazing people.
