How Does It Feel To Be a Teen
not yet developed not really ready
now a teen peers can be somewhat kind of means
still juvenile yet still a child
somewhat developing now
filling out jeans, a growing teen
sweet, sweet sixteen Oh!
what it means
to be almost there
just shy of 18
what does it matter
still no one cares
in some states in this USA
you are grownup, an adult
so lonely nineteen like 12 you still
12 you'll still not be there
just a 2 and a 0 and you're no bodies hero
just a kid so you live
on them mean street
in the houses of those you meet
lonely 21 a year before 20 just after nine-teen and your still feelinglike12
cause nobody, nobody cares
you are grown up
so, how does that feel to be a teen?
