The Mind of a Teenager…


Whirled with thoughts and
hopes, mixed up feelings of
life, it’s where the dreams begin
the worries of what others
think, the stress of everyday
life, finding it hard to discover
yourself from within
wondering when you will find
what you’re searching for,
wondering what it is you’re
searching for
sometimes wishing there were
no more.  No more confusion,
couldn’t things just be simpler?
Wishing there was no one left for you to adore.

Longing most to be understood.
Looking for support.  Mostly
wishing to be left alone.
Sitting for hours shedding tears,
regretting all the lost years.

Oh, if you could go back
and change the things you
did or didn’t do—rid yourself
of your fears.

Does it only get worse from here?
Will things become easier?  

Or, will they just become easier to deal with?
