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 :)
