1.A life not planned
2.Is a life wasted
3.That's why teens spend their life getting wasted
4.I mean they get higher then their problem when they should just face it
5.Because the reality is weed won't replace it
6.Try and try as we might
7.It seems when it comes to our problem we always lose the fight
8.By why is this so
9.people spend their whole lives and they never know
10. Putting on a good mask just for show
11. But the scariest part about a mask is the horror it may contain
12. And no matter how good the mask the same ugly face inside will remain
13. Yet we wear it with pride knowing the horror underneath
14. Because its what's under the beautiful mask that will leave you in unbelief
15. So we wear our elaborate masks which contain inside
16. The years of grief and drugs you long to hide
17. But in the end the horrors always come outside
18. Reliving the life you'd hoped had died


The author's comments:
Often times teens spend all their lives partying. While acting innocent on the side. In other words wearing a mask which inspired me. To write this poem.
