Its hard growing up now and days So much is expected of you in so many ways Everybody wants to judge you, but no one wants to help They'd rather obsess over your life than to concentrate on themselves You try to please others, but realize its useless And it seems that reality is always out to prove you clueless You want someone to love, but manage better on your own If loving him is right, then you don't want to be wrong Sex is an addiction, a vital necessity You can barely make it through the day without craving that point of ecstasy But what about love, trust, and commitment All of those things that are soon followed by resentment Crazy are these thoughts that plague us Causing confusion and trying to phase us Trying to eat at us from the inside out Making us scream and shout...and cry Seems like nobody cares, but you don't know why All you know is you and you only Maybe you should get to know someone else so you won't be so lonely

This is a well-written poem, I enjoyed reading it today, you expressed each verse in your poem so well, I thought about the times when I was younger and growing up, resentment hurts but Sheri long as you know you are doing and treating people right then be happy and know that you will make it. Good write
