Life of a Teenager
a competition where no one knows
who will come out ahead
who will succeed
who'll be able to look back
and say they could read
between the lines
of this life
so complicated
when simple is wanted
of this life
so simple
when complications are sought
of school
and of friends
and balance between the two
the confusion
and embarrassments
teenage years
we want to bid adieu
this life
its a race
good grades
right choices
pressure from parents
pressure from friends
giving in
or holding back
important decisions
that could change the course of life
dealing with mood swings
and evil teachers
trying to make people proud
trying to live happily
sometimes both can't be achieved
so sacrifices are made
the mess
and the disoriented mind
the restrictions and rules
we try to break over and over
the depression
the joys
the tears
the lies
love
along with hate
best friends
who sometimes fade
trying to be there for someone
looking for someone to be there for me
always waiting for tomorrow
for when we can be free
misunderstandings
and things that go unheard
things you wish you could say
but couldn't gather the nerve to
fading into the darkness
emerging with the light
all thos things that go unsaid
always on my mind
I think
if only
if only I'd said
what I wished I could say
would it be different this day?
Would I want to change things?
Do I want something else?
Am I happy with my life?
or am I looking for more?
