Teenagers

We screw up

We play our music too loud

We cut up our clothes

Trying to make a statement

We Holler, we riot

We'll never be quiet

Working to make this world

The one we want when we take it

We're young

We're wild

We're Free

Living in America

We're Spirited

We're smart

We're dedicated

We're or parents' replicas

We dance

We party

We fight to be heard

We've a right to every last word

We're fresh

We're new

We're a younger version of you

We're Teenagers

I love this poem... I bet it describes teenagers perfectly... From what I've seen on movies and such you got it right :)

I haven't interacted with other teenagers (in person) in quite a while... I'm seventeen myself but am homeschooled. Cancer does that to ya. Anyhoo, I love your poetry. Keep at it girlie. :)

Sincerely,
Marina L. Steele

I really like this! It's a lot like your other poem that I left a review on. You perfectly describe what teenagers are and how we do things in this cruel and messed up world. People are so used to teenagers screwing everything up, that they don't give them all a good chance on proving them wrong. It's sort of wrong but hey, we live in a world that luck runs low. I know that I have bad luck anyways, haha. We;re teenagers and we only live these years one time. Once these years are over we'll be grown-ups and look back at these years. We'll either laugh or cry at the memories that we had experienced. Great job! :)

Mistakes:

"We're *our* parents' replics"

I loved this poem. Ironically enough as a teenager I was the shy kid in the corner reading a book more often than not.

[Annabelle Lee]

A handful of exceptions, aren't ya?

[Frieda P]

Ha, you are a breath of fresh air Annabelle, this reminded me of one of Kahlil Gibran's writes on 'children'....

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

It's quite beautiful, you've said it differently but yes, the same concept. Nice one Annabelle!!

...you should read that by the way...

[Annabelle Lee]

Why thank you!

[Baby Ricochet]

Awesome! It's 20 somethings that drive me crazy, not teenagers.

[Annabelle Lee]

haa I bet you were a twenty something not long ago, Ricochet.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes I was. I was a cocky as hell marine too. Now I'm an under employed civilian. I was better then. Sigh.

[Annabelle Lee]

HA. Something about camoflauge brings oit the cocky in all of them.
