Cheers To the Teenage Years

Cheers to the Teenage Years

Heartbreak and Sorrow, 
The complaining never ends
He never called you back 
And you're fighting with your friends

Partying and Hookups
Bullying and  Pain
Breakups and Name-Calling
Teachers driving you insane

Essays and Assignments
Drama and Boys
No more play-dough and snack time
No more barbies and toys

Learning life long lessons
Making hard choices and mistakes
Meeting the people who will stay in your life
Separating the real ones from fakes

Peer Pressure to look beautiful
Pressure to be that certain weight
Smoking weed and drinking hard
Telling yourself you've found your perfect soul mate

Spreading rumors and gossip
Secrets exposed to everyone around
Getting called names beneath other people's breath
Your world never felt so upside down

From laughing to happiness
To such sadness and tears
Everyone must go through it once
So let's raise a glass - "Cheers to the teenage years ! "
