If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one. ~Russian Proverb


I’m living through life in the years of ten,
Where everything I do seems to be wrong.
I feel as useless as a dried-out pen,
And people hate me like I’m Genghis Khan.

I burn down all the bridges that I make,
But I mostly don’t know what I’m doing.
I start out strong every time I wake,
But I go down with no one to help me.

I have bad grades in school and chores at home.
It seems like I can’t get my life in order,
And an imbalance within my own dome.
Life is irrational like a monster.

People say that life is not a wager,
But I guess they are not a teenager.


The author's comments:

Being a teen myself, I am usually yelled at constantly for doing "bad" things, even if they aren't that bad. For example, I mowed the lawn without weed-eating, and I got a 2 hour lecture. I hope this connects to everyone who has ever felt the same, and makes them realize that teens often comprehend situations differently than everyone else. Therefore, the teens think they are being yelled at constantly, while the parents think they are helping form their child into the perfect adult.
