I'M a Teenager

Let me stay in my room, Let me sleep till 11 o’clock Let me go to sleep at 2 AM Don’t be mad when I’m in my room all day I’m a teenager, Let me do teenage things Leave me at the mall with friends Leave me on the Wi-Fi for the whole day Don’t tell me to block my online friends Don tell me to, ‘Get out of the room’ I’m a teenager, Let me do teenage things… Yes, I swear Yes, I would like to smoke Yes, I have tasted vodka before, And I liked it… Let me drink Let me experience with drugs And see how much they ruin life Let me try stuff out for myself! Don’t tell me what to do Don’t tell me to get of the internet, Or you’ll block me from the Wi-Fi Don’t judge me when I tell you my sexuality, Otherwise I won’t open up to you again… I’m a teenager, Let me do teenage things… Please
