Teenage Lament

The fire and the fury
Misplaced expressions of truth
Punished by society
For my passion, for my youth

The torment coercing
The good in me breaking bad
Torn between right and wrong
Losing any sense, i ever had

Give me a crutch
Anyone will do
Escaping this adolescent prison
Seems the honourable thing to do

I don't care for your rules
I enjoy being misspent
See you on the other side
Of this Teenage Lament

Many a Teenage lament there has been, and some times they make you, and sometimes they break you. Teenagers now, and their past would totally understand this little write :) nice one Jo :)
