Teenage Angst Poem
I turn on Internet radio 
 I hear a sappy love song 
 I sit down
 And Take a sip of pop
 It's times to write another teenage angst poem
 
 one about trying to belong 
 Or trying be strong in the face of bullying 
 Maybe, if I'm feeling especially good mode,
 it will be about suicide
 Or my friend who is constantly bullied because he has gay pride 
 Or that boyfriend  that dump me the other night 
 Or how the whole world should lay down weapons and stop the fight 
 
 
 I know it easier to write about being sad
 But when does the whole  "express your anger" premise turn bad?
 Can't something be art 
 If a not talking 
 being teased 
 My sexuality 
 Or the struggles of my art 
 Or how my parent are never pleased 
 
 
 I know world has problems; it true 
 But beside simply looking out window or turning CNN for a quick view
 I can log on to teen ink for sec
 Press the poetry section
 And if I check 
 I see all the worlds issue in a view 
 If only all my personal problems came in rhyming  verse too!
 
 I must admit 
 I a have fallen to this black hole of my art
 A have poem title :
 out of my head 
 In my teen ink profile one of my  favorites is a poem titled cheerily "I want to be dead"
 
 I know the world does us all wrong 
 I know love is often unrequited 
 And hatred is often strong 
 
 But sometime life is a song
 And it treats you gently and like it did when you were young 
 Sometime flowers bloom
 And the worlds is bright 
 And a young idea is in planted in your mind
 And all you have is good  friends and a fun time
 
 
 I going make first step 
 To right  this wrong
 And promise never to write, at least not tonight
  another teenage angst poem
 
 
 Ps. Please check  my profile tomorrow. Hopeful by then, my new work, I hate the world , will get posted! :) here's a sample 
 
 I hate world
 It's true you see
 Maybe, 
 I wouldn't hate the world
 If it didn't hate me
