The World That Teens Are Living In
It's a messed up world that teens are living in
Girls are competing to become the prettiest
They're using the most recent fads to become the thinnest
The boys are taking steroids to become the strongest
Don't you realize that that's not the healthiest
We're turning to drugs to overcome our fears
And then there's the cutting that brings us all to tears
We think it's cool to judge each other
I hope you realize that we're all in this together
We think it's cool to wear band t-shirts to school
To show the others what genre we listen to
But, life in itself is a genre through and through
Life is a beautiful thing
But, we are creating it to be a death ring
We think that we're different, but in reality, we are just the same people
Looking through the halls through a tiny peep hole
Hoping that no one can see
The pain that we flee
And the lies that we plee
Girls are getting pregnant and we're thinking that that's redundant
Those children are a blessing but we're thinking of it as just one less thing
There are kids who come to school to get away from their families
But when they arrive, we make fun of their abilities
Their dad may beat them in their dome
And their mom may never be home
And we see them as just another washed up kid
Who doesn't deserve to live
There are teens who are so depressed
Who are also very impressed
By the mask that they wear around everyone
And by the way that they can fool anyone
Teen suicide is no joke
And with this poem that I'm writing I'm about to choke
Even though this poem is through,
I've got one less thing left to say to you
It's a messed up world that teens are living in
And we're all living in it too
