Teen Life Poems - Poems about Teen Life

Teenagers

Teenagers are just
Entering the  real world with an
Emotional roller-coaster.
Never understood by others,
All they can do is
Grow with hope,
Excitement, sadness, and fury.
Radiating curiosity are some while others
Seem to already have it figured out.

POV: YOU'RE AN OVERTHINKER

Being the overthinker—how does that feel?
After reading this piece , perhaps you will see a different side of me.

Every little detail bothers me, 
 overanalyzing situations in a myriad of ways, and starting a new chapter in my life always brings forth the worst thoughts in me. 
Surely, one should look on the bright side

A Beginnings End

Eat bitter, taste sweet
Do this, rewards you will reap.
Fight, savour, repeat.

Bts and Ats

B.T.S
Before
Turning
Seventeen
Thought that being a teenager was the life
On top of the freakin world
Nothin can stop me
The seat of the throne
Social hierarchy is the one and only rule
All of us collecting friends like Infinity Stones
Is the mainstream here
The height of beauty and adolescence
Funneling energy into the void
Nothing brighter than me
Everything in neon glow and glitter showers
All

Hey Teen

HEY TEEN

Hey teen, did you screw up your date ?
Or your crush didn't show up at the school gate ?
And did you swear at the girl next to your crush, yeah the one you hate ?
Or did your singledom made you Question your fate?

Hey you! Smile if you failed that stupid test
You know you'll buck

Premium MemberThe Robbery

I visit you in dreams, 
and my visit is always unexpected.
I’m always excited and more 
than a little apprehensive.
.
In dream variations, your reactions shuffle 
like poker cards - you’re surprised and pleased, 
or wary, or even politely disappointed.
.
Dreams can be a harsh mirror and as in real life,
my emotions are poorly protected.
.
Brushstrokes of truth hide

Premium MemberFriends

These are some
Senryu poems about friendships. 
Who knows us better?

Friends are family
by invitation - accepted 
gifts to each other.

We don't care what
your specific gender is
we're calling you dude.

I love to hang out
with people who make me forget
to check on my phone.

We all have a friend  
who thinks of everything
in a dirty way.

Premium MemberDon'T Know, Don'T Care

I swear, my parents act like they were never teens in a pandemic growing up.

I was watching “Perry Mason,” an HBO show set in the 1930s. Perry gets mail out of his mailbox and I think “no GLOVES??” This pandemic has a hold of me.

6:30am  I’m finishing my shower - wrapping my hair in

Premium MemberSubmitting To the Lash

In 7th grade we took
some personality tests
- they were intriguing.

I’m a hustler
- the very opposite of a
procrastinator.

I take on future
projects early, impatient
to sandpaper issues.

It’s calming to
know why I stress - it helps me
navigate my fears.

While my friends are panicked
that SAT testing time is here
- I did mine last year.

It’s easier
to submit to the lash if
we

Teen Life

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

Adflicto

I just want to curl up and away
Forever lost in the land of dreams.
Where is that happy land of sunshine?

Lost in a perpetual storm; am I
The storm or is it around me?

The dark Beast forever stalking my
Light, my life of laughter, smiling.

I thought I was safe but then
The grief tore my soul apart
Once again, I

Unfold

The pain of change as it unfolds
Is oft a tale that stays untold
What is seen is a whole creature
not deep holes in the feature
nor concrete soles that makes his feet hurt

It all begins with a soft kiss
He is walking with a false bliss
Only following in paw prints
But the nature of mom's lips
Is to rob him

Moments of Moments

Those moments of moments 
Spaced within the crazy Brain
Often brings the smile on you
Realizing,
Time spent was never in vain.

Miss saying,
Do hell with it and I don’t care
For the last piece of pizza, I stare 
Miss those small fights, I dared

Craving to go back in past
To live those moments once again
To live the life of a

Laugh It Off

It's not easy being me
At 16 the seniors life is far from heavenly
I'm ranked as a minor and portrayed as a thug
A young man just trying to make it in the world

The social network has me on the low grid
Just a "Wana Be" trying to come up and get big
It's all good i shrug and

Reminiscing

Sitting there thinking, looking back on your past. Remembering the good and bad memories. Some make you wonder what you where ever thinking and then some make you smile ear to ear just like you were that day and some you remember how happy you were and how much you miss that person but they
