From The Mind Of A Hopeless, Dreadful Teenager

So back to my couch where i'll binge on Doritos

Just sitting outside being eaten by mosquitoes

Empty ice cream cartons & my baggy sweats.

Endless television marathons with my furry feline pets

Not giving a s**t about those who are ignorant and bent

Because those close minded idiots will hit the cold, hard, cement.

With their opinionated minds and their narcissistic state

Always getting fucked up, only thinking with hate.

But unlike them I’ll sit here in solitude

Not giving a damn, having a slight attitude

Lock me in, close the door.

Let the oxygen thin, and the rain pour

I'm done with this deceitful, messed up society

I’m done with those who hate sobriety

I'd rather spend my days sleeping on the golden country fields and spend my nights walking the noisy city streets

I’ll get lost in the rock and roll, but no, I’ll pass on the stupid rap beats

So I am going to spend the remainder of my adolescent years, bingeing on chips and refusing to give

Watching pointless movies that I’ll probably never live

But hey, I’m just a teenager, we're hopeless anyway

Always scaring the s**t out of people, no matter what we say

You kill this. It's hard to be honest in high school and I've been there before. Keep being honest and it gets better. Don't hold on to the hatred, just the honest.

[Vertigoingnowhere]

Thanks :) That means a lot

I wish I had someone to tell me the same. I'd tell you "don't worry," but I know you will. Just remember to be honest. That will work! :)

Wow *clap clap* lol I couldn't have said it better myself. Fantastic job on this, I really enjoyed the read.

[reflectingus]

This pinches because it is just so true. It is as if you have written down the details of my life itself. In this messed up society, people just love generalizing and underestimating people like us. I just love the whole realistic nature of this.

Just btw, I love the swearing in this. It makes everything so much more real. Keep it up.

[Pawprints]

Haha! I loved this! I loved the voice of this and how raw and true it is.

LOL that last line's a killer! Wicked good, edgy, and real, expressing yourself in hardness, and steel, lines drawn in the sand telling what you feel...until that crazy love within softens you up once again, and you don't let anger win....gosh I love your writing!

Very well thought out as Ive said before being a teenager is a hard job and the aftermath can scar you immensely. I can say that it has done alot to me making me afraid of certain things because I wasnt myself at times and tried to confine myself to the society which is high-school to this day I still hate it but I guess if I didnt get picked on I wouldnt try to excell at writing so much now. Well done.

Dear HighSchoolAdventurer,

Wow. Lol, I am lost for much words. It's definitely topped with style and flare personality. I'm sorry, this will not be a long review because I don't find anything wrong with this piece. If there is any criticism I would have had, it was blown away by the bluntness and comic of this poem.

Really awesome read.Thanks for sharing.

Sincerely Livana Lowell (LL)

God bless

It's always good to have a "I don't give a s**t" attitude. I remember having that, I still have that too. Anyways, teenagers always try and find a way to bend the rules and think the rules don't apply to them. But honestly, every rule applies and they make themselves think rules don't exist for them because they're growing up. Other than that, live life the way you want, don't give a s**t about society and who's not important. Focus on yourself and be hard-headed and stubborn against the things you aren't okay with. Always stand up for yourself and refuse by all costs to let people walk all over you.

I remember this! It was excellent when you showed me at school, and I still love it. (don't know how the rating works, so don't kill me if I mess something up XD)

Good to be young. Better to keep adults at bay and concern. Insure they stay involved in your life. I enjoyed the complete poem. I do understand this. I had four kids of my own in the house at one time. Never understood none of them. Thank you for the excellent poem.
