Teenage Years
To feel alive
A girl cuts into her skin
While another girl cries when she's told
She was never loved by her boyfriend
A boy is left with broken bones
After he endures a vicious beating
A young girl is teased about her weight
And decides to stop eating
A girl was raped repeatedly
Until she blows out her brains
And leaves her distraught mother
To clean up the stains
Another boy does cocaine
While a girl makes herself throw up
To feel a sense of self-control
And they both become corrupt
A boy is hopeless
And grabs a knife
And they say these are supposed
To be the best years of our life
