Teenage Angst Poems - Poems about Teenage Angst

List of people I've kissed

...Do you remember like I do, 
the way we’d jump with giddy— 
Or how we’d grit our teeth,
waiting for something to happen?

Your feeling,
A pulse that nipped the green off my leaves,
like I was h...

Notes App Poetry

...Notes app poetry
Easy to write at 3 AM in bed
With a bowl of Cheetos balancing on my stomach 

Notes app poetry
Harder to convey 
And say 
Your juvenile heartbreak 
In a way that lets others ...

Burnt Offering

...Lame lyrics of lost love penned by sweatered sirens
deep as divots, shallow as puddles
Doesn’t teenage angst get old by the time you’re thirty?
I’d think so, yet the lackeys lap it up like maple s...

My Mates Mum

...With her very shapely thighs
And her nice firm bum
I can’t keep my eyes
Off my best mate’s mum
We could have fallen out
But we’re getting on fine 
I’ve got my eyes on his mum
And he’s got his ...

Rock N' Roll Spin

...I've reached beyond the age of RPM records
        youthful addiction
My forty-fives tilt in a corner of the basement,
        leaning tower of teenage angst,
Wrapped now in decades of neglect.

Birth

...I was there
when you were born
hand holding
tear drying
urging her on
I was there

your first day at school
your purple jumper
that you...

Ode To the In-Crowd

...Victory or defeat, it’s all bittersweet.
Mediocrity, I try not to be. 
So I wore designer jeans,
Weighed a hundred fifteen.
To earn a spot in the cool kids’ books, 
You’ve got to first have the ...

Childhood Memories

...Childhood Memories!

Playing soccer as a forward and a goalie in early childhood through first grade
meeting a pilot and a stewardess in kindergarten and even wanted to be a pilot for a while beca...

A Fresh Breath

...Summer can’t wait for I
When the dusk
Carries the sun
Past it’s bedtime.

When teenage angst
Causes midnight walks
And the crisp air
Brings the sweaters out.

We use them
To hide
To cover...

Choosing Sides

...Even as a child of God -
when it came right down to it
she stood firmly on her child’s side -
not God’s 

.. and damn
how I envied that..

my friend

The Open Mic Night

...I spent my adolescence writing lots of teenage angst
through poetry, and stuck with it, despite it being pants.
I’ve been to Open Mic nights, and risen through the ranks.
I don’t get heckled quite...

BORN FREE

...Born free, free of ego, free of hate.
Free of judgement about your mates.

No difference, no disparity.
Until teenage angst makes you aware.

Not alike after all, sexual stirrings that appall.

Sevenbits - Diary

...My sister called and read me
mundane lines of teenage angst
which came from a diary.
I laughed and called it drivel.
Where did she find such a thing?
She then revealed she found it

in my ...

Masters and Servants

...ANCIENT roads lead to nowhere
& teenage angst is so pitiful
,a selfless-born floats like 
every payment dad made for
my straight teeth; so sue me!

it's so strange to be me
it's so deranged li...

The Midnight Dance
