Teenage Years

Too young to feel pain Too old to get hurt Too childish to think like an adult Too young to play games But old enough to be blamed We try to fit in But no matter what we will never win Too old to sit on mama's lap Too young to just snap We try to hide what we have become Because we don't even know what we’ve done We’re supposed to know the right choice to make But in the end our hearts always ache Most people will never say But we go through this everyday

Wow, this is a wonderfully written poem. It explains some people's teenage very well, I know for me I felt a lot like that in high school.
