Teens

walking down the hall, seeing all your peers 
having all these hopes, having all these fears 
how to wear you hair, how to make time rush by 
not knowing when to laugh, and not knowing when to cry 
how to pick your friends, how to stand your ground 
trying to keep up while running all around 
having all these questions like am I cool enough? 
running into bullies who think their very tough 
have to go to work, won't be done until ten 
then you have your sport, hoping you will win 
now you have homework, want to keep that "A" 
wow it's been a very long day!
