Who Killed the Teenager?

Teenagers 

Society's b***h

Underweighted fame

Just to get rich 

"Society's perfect!"

"Society's fucked."

All different opinions

Most out of luck

Cuts, bruises, burns

"It was the cat"

"It was an accident" 

All because you called her fat..

Blood, tears

The war wages on

All secrets hidden away

Before the the break of dawn

"I told my mom,

But she didn't believe.

Everything was always hidden

Under my sleeve."

"Mom I don't eat.

He called me fat."

"Hmm sounds like you,

Always someone's stepping mat."

Craving cutting, wanting more

Don't you remember what we're fighting for?

Forgive, forget

That's what seems to be right

"I'll write this letter for you for mom,

Incase I don't return tonight."

She cried for help

But no one seemed to listen

Starved to death

Bled to death

There's no change.

Loss caused by society,

Who killed the teenager.

Author's Note

This is basically the thing no one wants to here right? Why? Because it's the truth. No one ever wants to know the truth. All they want is the candy coated lies.
But anyways, I wrote this because I think people need to know the truth, ya know?

I hope everyone likes. Please review and thank you for reading<3

This is definitely the truth that needs to be heard. Reminds me of the movie "Bully." You should watch it. It's a real tear-jerker.

Kids have it hard. They see perfection. Hard to be. Poem told a story for many. We need to stay positive and teach our children to like who they are. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

As a teenager I can relate to this very much. You're right about no one wanting to hear the truth, but someone has to let it out.

[Speak in Silence]

Agreed.

Society influences young people in so many ways and sometimes I think people forget that. This poem should remind people of what they forgot. I wish people would see the truth more often than they do. Great poem, you did an amazing job.

Thank you

society influences young people in many things, that is why we should know and understand ourselves first...

[Speak in Silence]

True but lots of people seem to have trouble (including myself) with understanding and accepting themselves

[Myenigma]

its just part of growing up....,do things that make you happy :) things do get better, and don't let others tell you otherwise..

[Speak in Silence]

Thank you for the advice

[Myenigma]

yea another thing i agree with is how we have high expectations of life, how we are all going to be rich etc..

Riveting and compelling at the same time. The truth is what sets you free. Unfortunately nowadays in society no one wants to here it because our emotions tend to get the best of us. Great write. :)

[Speak in Silence]

Very true. Thank you for reading and reviewing
