Oh, to be a teenager  

Social media’s your wife

While you’re hanging on for life



Too socially unavailable but also too annoying

Never good enough for the boys but the second you go for girls “it’s just a phase!” they’re crying

Boys are mean but girls are worsening

For if you're not the rest of them, you should consider dying



Difference is a crime

But if you fit in, you're just basic

No matter what you’ll be judged for a lifeline

If only I was amnesiac  

To forget about the social standers that I do not align



Music and bugs have been my best friend

From the fear my life, rights, and liberty will end  

For the days begin to blend

Leaving the criminals you defend



Scared to walk home at night

Why at my lack of maturity do they excite?

All because of my pretty face, right?

I’m only fourteen  

Never seen, but mean

This is all I can say behind the screen



For I live in fear

Despite not being a deer3

But a person, her intentions clear

But none cheer.



Oh, to be a teenager

Expected to grow up, but stay a child

For we all miss the days where we smiled

But that's the world we live in now.
