Best Teen Life Poems
I was beaten
With a belt or a hand
Time after time
When I supposedly did wrong
They never warned
Just did
They don't care
So why should I
This is my life story
And I've chosen
Chosen the dark road
They always pushed me
Told me to do my best
But my best was never goo enough
They beat
They yelled
But not once did they ever think
That it would effect me
From 1-13 I have no recollection of happiness
There's a gap of where my memories should be
This is my life story
Cut short
Here she comes, walking with pride.
Her face is so vibrant, she looks so alive.
Nothing can stop her, no one dares to try.
Her entire life is corroded with deals, tricks, and lies.
Her beauty is everything, her smile kills all
It brings down the strongest men, makes the highest building fall.
But when she comes home,
The story does change.
Her life’s not so perfect,
The positions rearrange.
Her father's an alcoholic, and not very nice.
She has a brother who gave up on school, and can’t read or write
Of all of her family, her mother is the worse.
Sometimes she wonders if she'll survive this curse.
He mother yells,and tells her that she's no good.
She would give it all up, if only she could.
At the end of the night she goes into her room,
She begins to weep, and eventually cries herself to sleep.
She wakes up the next day,
Puts on a happy face,
And goes to school as if nothing happened the previous night,
Or that absolutely nothing is wrong with her life.
So now that you’ve seen what’s behind the closed door,
I hoped you’ve thought about this girl a little more.
With the utmost respect,
I present to you, the life of someone "perfect".
I started to write you this song
The day that everything went wrong
You think I have it all together
And that I’m as light as a feather
You can’t see the pain from my past
All I ever do is see you fast
You want your life to be perfect
It’s not fair you excel in every subject
It was fine when you were by yourself
My life story is somewhere on a shelf
Now you’re taking someone else down with you
We all used to be stuck together like glue
I can see your pain
I will always feel I’m the one to blame
Life can be beautiful and long. Or life could be short and depressing. Some people
act happy when they are sad. Their anger will grow and only get mad. Fear to live
can be so strong. Some people will cut life short before they're time. They feel
the only way out is suicide. For death is a gift that God gave us. But love is a
choice that some don't follow. The hatred rejection breathes can turn you hallow.
Your eyes tell the truth of an unforgiving soul. The darkness you seek is out of
control. One day at a time it consumes you. Then at last your finally threw. You
are bitter and heartless, angered, and cold. Sooner or later your evil will unfold.
You have gone into hiding and left the light. Any chance you get you try to fight.
The pain you buried so many years ago. The scars and fears of an unforgiving soul.
Your day will come and you will forgive. The child you saved was abandoned and
hide. Your life is peaceful and calm. Your little baby will grow up happy and
strong. You saved a life and got yours back. You had so much pain and rage filled
attacks. You can sleep without the dreams of a viscous man. Everything is Better
now you can finally think. You stop and wonder why he took that last drink? Why he
abused your young body? Where he was when he hid? Why he did the things he did?
I sit here shaking in this warm water
The pain has come, for my life to barter.
Should i do it, let everything go.
I grab that razor and never let go.
I tilt my head back and take a breath
I soon feel the pain inside my chest.
My heart is pounding faster and faster.
I think in my head now I\'m the master.
Cutting and cutting away that pain
as the blood drips down, my life slowly fades.
I drop the blade, and watch it fade, into the
Bath of blood that i have made.
Everythings gone, my life to.
into that red liquid, that makes me and you.
i am now free of all that pain, and all the suffering that never went away.
So now i lay here in my Bath of blood, looking down in at the soapy suds. Was it
a dream or was it a fantasy.
I look at my wrists....and they still bleed.
He used to give her roses
he used to make her smile
he always said he loved her
but it only lasted for a while
he used to be so nice
told her stories of his past
he used to treat her like a princess
but this love did not last
He started calling her names
soon slammed her to the floor
began to play all kinds of games
her heart soon broken and tore
must have been her fault
every guy has done this to her before
i must tell you her story
because she isn't with us anymore
she wrote a letter
that told of her life
nothing was getting better
she began to use a knife
this is the letter
no one has ever read
the life that plagued her
and this is what it said
Dear whoever,
I couldn't take it anymore
my life so full of pain
my world fell around me
i soon was drove insane
I'd come home with bruises
marks around my neck
I'd have to cover my wounds
my life soon became a wreck
I started to slice
crimson puddles began to pour
i now write you this letter
as i lie weak on the floor
I cannot wait to leave this place
no one here with a care
I can now leave without a trace
knowing that no one is aware
I cannot wait to see
how every one will react
when they finally see what hes done to me
and all the courage that i lack
I know that you'll all be happy
no longer have to see
that somewhere in this world
i the one writing longs to be free
now i must say goodbye
with no one to say it to
when all my life was based on lies
what else was there for me to do?
so when you look in the sky
just think Matt of what you've done
your always saying you win?
not this is the time that you have won!
Life will never be the same
You are the one to blame
It seems you think everything is okay
This will all be over in May
You don’t think any of it was true
I couldn’t give you a bigger clue
Everything is for attention
Our group is full of tension
I can’t take the names you’ve called me
It’s so plain to see
I hope the rest of your life is pathetic
Thanks to you my life is poetic
My life was once great
My life was once bright and happy
My life used to be so wonderful
My life used to be so amazing
My life was beautiful
Then everything completely changed
My whole life came crashing down,
Like bullets in the sky
It was all over before I knew it
And now there's no going back in time
They say our life is happy – so full of fun,
They call it advices when they point a gun,
Dad says ‘you only have to study – why can’t you’
Dear elders –wait a while, come and wear into my shoe!
Unit test are coming up –beware,
You must study till late-learn and prepare!
Don’t be coward – you are on the soccer field,
Bend like Beckham you must win a shield!
Oratory is the art of public speaking
you must participate, it’ll be interesting!
The quizmaster is confusing, you see,
Go through Telegraph, Statesman and Graphiti!
Late to bed and early to rise,
You say will make me brilliant and wise.
You were absent yesterday go and meet the clerk,
I will kick you out of the class, if you don’t do the home work!
Don’t get distracted be steady like the stars – look,
Go for tuitions – forget the hi5, Orkut or Facebook!
We are your elders – we say for your good,
Better pay attention or you’d it – understood!
Now that you’ve taken a ride into our routine,
Let me show you the pictures that you’ve already seen!
So easy is our life that we are never at rest,
Today is elocution and tomorrow will be the test,
If we fail – dad receives a letter,
If we pass – we can still do better!
What hypocrisy is this – are we machines,
We have our lives – we have our dreams!
You’ve made the board dirty with your words – you must clean,
I’m sorry elders it was just the blood from the heart of a teen!!
Being a teenager is hard.
You go to school
listen to people talk about you
They worry about your shoes.
They worry about if you “on fleek”
but they don’t know that you really
wanna play hide and seek.
People don’t understand the things that
teenagers go through.
Teenagers have a lot of peer pressure
and people are rude.
Teens have to deal with people who
think they’re better than everybody, even you.
Life of a teen nobody understands
Teens wish they had someone to
understand and someone to grab their hand.
Teens wish they could laugh and play
but now they have to Oh! watch their babies all day.
The world that we live is cruel
and filled with so many fools.
Teens, make sure they have good grades,
afraid about what their parents will say.
There’s a lot of violence and crime progressing
but there’s nobody doing any time.
In this world all you hear about are the gangs
and the guns that go bang!
Life of a teen you wouldn't understand
there’s nobody to grab our hand
The Good Shepherd
Christ is the True Shepherd
JN 10:1-18
"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.
But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice.
But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."
So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came (before me) are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate.
Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture.
A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.
This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.
These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own.
I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father." (Taken from JN 10:1-5, 7-18)
The Unjust Steward
So you want to know me?
The life you cannot see?
The things in misery?
All about me?
I held the hand of a dying man,
I bow before the great god Pan!
You still want to know and take my hand?
My life is no wonderland.
I’m always judged for what I say,
I’m always judged for being gay.
You send me to go and lay,
In piles of needles, to find false hay.
You tie me up, burn me down,
With smiles and laughter of evil clowns,
You cover me in chains to drown,
In oceans deep, down, down, down.
I helped a cancer patient live!
I taught the greedy how to give!
Though I don’t even get to live,
I only just survive.
I am a witch, a wiccan through,
I love to lay in cold, wet dew
I sing and dance the witches rune
I believe in the bright full moon!
All that is, and ever was,
Of me is gone now like a dove,
I still can’t believe in one true love,
For all of that is gone.
I live in darkness, forevermore,
For life has nothing deep in store,
For light is just believed folklore,
Washed up on the darkened shore.
I don’t exist, for I will fade,
And you will ask “who’s Andrew Jade?”
You will forget the things I’ve made
You won’t know where I’m laid.
For deep in my shallow grave,
I remember all I did save,
For everything that I gave.
To die, a funeral, no one there,
Lying there full of despair.
For now you might actually care…
Till you see me standing there
I'm suffocating in my skin
My happiness is wearing thin
Please just let this end
Please just comprehend
That you're hurting me now more then ever before
Oh how can I implore
How much I love you so
How much you'll never know
When you used to hold me in your arms
When you used to wrap me in your charms
Back when it was just you and me
Back when we knew how to be
Those were the days
But now its all so far away
Love is so confusing
And lust is so amusing
Perhaps we will never be happy
Perhaps we'll always think love is sappy
Then again, maybe happiness will come our way
Then again, maybe we'll be together one day
I hope you know that I hate this feeling
Being tormented by one human being
You're all that fills my head
As I lie awake in this empty bed
Oh how I hope to hold you're hand
Oh how I wish life werent so bland
Cause pain is the only thing real
The one thing that can't be concealed
But just know
That seeing you with her kills me so
But no one cares about me anymore
This heart becomes more sore
Waiting for someone to hear me
Waiting for someone to see
That my life is flashing before my eyes
Hoping someone can sympathize
Myself confidence has gone down the drain
Oh, I think I'm going insane
But dont worry about dramatic me
Dont worry about my life of misery
No, dont listen; no, dont care
Dont say that you'll always be there
I know I don't matter to you
I know you dont know what to do
I still dont know what went wrong
I still try to be so strong
But being near you everyday
Has left my heart astray
Our good times fade away
My happy days turn to gray
My heart burns to dust
How could you betray my trust?
If you only knew
All the things that I've been through
You'd understand
You'd comprehend
Why its so hard to survive
Why its so hard to stay alive
Well, goodbye, I'm slipping away
I might not see you after today
So let me leave you with this little piece, these little lines
Maybe you'll understand them in time....
Eat bitter, taste sweet
Do this, rewards you will reap.
Fight, savour, repeat.
I was scared for you
of Knowing
Of the life growing
Inside of me.
The life let go
Like a flower on the first fallen snow
I didn't understand why
So I curled up to cry
So scared to tell you
Not knowing what you'll do
now you're mad at me
When all I want to be
Is with you
I care for you
No matter what is said
That's always true...
