The Real World
In the real world
You keep telling me this
As if the last 18 years
Are nothing but a free pass
Do you think I've learned nothing?
I have made & lost friends
Dealt with bullying & harassment & peer pressure
Listened to my parents scream & push me too far
I have battled depression
But I know nothing
I'm not ready
It's not like I already live
In the real world
This poem is about:
Me
My family
