Teenager
Being a teenager is hard
Always having to live up to expectations
Even when you’re dealt the worst cards,
All the while living in the world’s freest nation.
Being a teenager is fun
Eating without a care in the world
Experimenting with new facets of life under the sun,
All the while prospering in the free world.
Being a teenager is indifferent
Wanting to venture off to college
But also wanting to stay and be an infant,
Having the desire to explore the world limitlessly
Even though they’ve existed in their home for many years.
Completing the metamorphosis
From a teenager to an adult
Is a daunting task to say the least...
