Teenage angst

Hmmm....this describes me.

 

You don't understand me!

I hate you! I really do!

This is comepletely stupid!

whatever. I don't care.

You don't know what I've been through!

I hate school!

Shuttup!

Pig!

B--ch!

Shut up!

 

Do all those nasty things sound familiar to you?

Did you sound like that when you were young?

Or are you still a teenager yourself?

Well?

Did you?,

Or do you?

Hmmm.....

 

I hate my mom!

I hate my dad!

They never listen to me!

Grownups are stupid!

Grownups are useless!

I hate them all!

 

Do they really mean that, when they say it?

Or do they just feel lonely,

depressed,

and sad.

And angry.

And frustrated.

And, most of all....awkword.

 

I hate you!

I hate school!

I hate life!

I'm sick of this!

You don't understand me!

No one does!

I'm better off with you dead!

 

But do they really hate us?

Or do they want us to care?

I think they do.

They want us to love them.

They want to be needed.

I'm like that too.

I want people to love me, too.

 

I hate.....Wait. I don't.

I love you, mom.

I love you, dad.

I don't hate you.

I love you both.

I'm sorry.

 

Thats what they are really thinking.

Deep down inside they're fragile hearts.

I know they do.

But I think everyone, at some point, has had teenage angst.

Everyone has.

Everyone.

Even me.

And so have you.

I'm sure of it.

when you go on a vicious rampage....it could make a nice poem ^^

[Angie Diane♥&hea..]

This is a very truthful poem. :)
I don't say this out loud to my parents. I keep it in my head, but in reality I do love my parents. I do hate my life at times.
Thanks for sharing. Since this is completely true. :)

I liked it... I'm kind of pissed at people that act like this, because a lot of teens on the inside are seriously hurting and mentally ill. I have tons of friends (including me) who have been suicidal and in total depression. So it makes me angry when people try and think they have it so bad because they "didn't get the phone they asked for" or they "couldn't go to a party".
This poem is painfully true, and I can honestly say I haven't met one teen who hasn't thought this way.
If only they could see how immature they're being.

We just say that stuf when we're angry. i never actually called anyone a B***h though and i never really wished anyone was ever dead. I kinda found this poem a little bit annoying, but teens an relate.
