A Secret Life

July 25, 2011
By Anonymous

Dark things hidden under the bed,
People you wish would fall down dead,
Evil things you wish you could tear
Out of your own head,
This is the secret life
Of the American teenager.

Rebelling just for the thrill,
And not for the fight,
To throw your might,
Against their own,
When will you atone?
This is the secret life,
Of the American teenager.
