Analysis of Teenage Dream
My teenage dream
Love, friendship
Staying up late
And sneaking through windows
Perfect model bodies
And nothing tastes as good
As skinny feels
My teenage dream
Heartbreak, traitors
Lipstick on his collar,
Tear stains on my pillow
Picture perfect strangers
Cool kids are size zero
I can't look at her
In the mirror anymore.
My teenage dream
Shattered, broken
A myth, sold to the highest bidder
Bought at the price of my sanity.

About this poem
We are always fed this ideal about how our teenage years should be. Glamour, love, success. But what if, that's not real? What if, your teenage dream is a myth? That is what this poem is about. My own experiences growing up and how different they were from what I expected.
